The Minnesota radio humorist brought a 50-year anniversary tour, based on his show “A Prairie Home Companion,” back to where he started it. He left me in tears of happiness.
I listened to his show religiously! I saw him perform several times in person, including the Hoyt Sherman show before he was forced out. I had the opportunity to meet him in the “green room” at an Iowa State Fair performance. So I asked him to autograph one of his books for my father-in-law. I said, “He’s a huge fan.” Garrison looked at me, and said, “HE’S a huge fan?” I hastily added, “I am, too, of course!’ Thanks for this update – I miss listening to him!
As a Minnesota native, I've long admired Garrison Keillor and his incredible talent. "Prairie Home Companion" will always be one of the great sound tracks of my life ❤
Wonderful memories

I loved the gentle humor of Garrison Keillor.
Thank you for the memories.
It makes perfect sense that he told you first about his comeback.
