Yes, Julia, you are an angel! KSJN works! Thank you, thank you. I saw Garrison in person in Salt Lake City about twenty years ago. He wanted to sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir but they didn't let him... and he joked about that... what a guy that Garrison.

I recall my first listen in 1978, as I was on a Lake Freighter in Duluth/Superior... Then met Garrison many times since in the 80's -90's while in Mpls. I helped "save the World" (bats!) Great things in our lives!

Long time fan...still dancing in the kitchen, fortunate to have been to the show live several times, will continue to follow.

That's great Cheryl! We dance in our kitchen too

Saint Ann's and a host of animals! APHC at its finest!

Can the PHC's reruns this summer carry some of the many events happening this weekend there at Macalester? We're across the country and listening right now, but wished we were there with our Mac alum son. Maybe put 40 years, 40 songs on radio sometime?

by Kingser 7/6/2014 12:18:26 AM
Outstanding. Congratulations from here on the lawn your two o'clock. A great Nothing from Nobody. Well, you did it, did you not? L,-A

by Andrea Witzel 7/6/2014 12:18:38 AM
Thanks @JoeSkeen1 for your kind words! Tweeting from home and I don't work for #NPR! Just a huge fan of @prairie_home :-)

Welcome back the Wailin' Jennys #aphc40 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Br0fi4TCAAEfnP7.jpg

by Travis Phillips via twitter 7/6/2014 12:21:54 AM
Sincerely hoping that @jkhausen was listening to the chicken singing just now on #aphc40

by Tom Crann, MPR News via twitter 7/6/2014 12:21:59 AM
I secretly sing along to The Wailin' Jennys and pretend I can sing.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 7/6/2014 12:22:39 AM
Tom would have been proud of the quality of chickens coming from the stage at Macalester this evening.

by Joe Skeen 7/6/2014 12:22:55 AM
Joe, you're right.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 7/6/2014 12:24:32 AM
Beautiful night, pizza on the BBQ, dinner on the patio, #aphc40 on the radio. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Br0gXOwCUAIaFbD.jpg

gotta say I have dealt with depression issues for awhile now and this show is the only thing that truly makes me smile and feel good in my week. Thank you P:HC and all the performers.

by kevin Jay 7/6/2014 12:24:40 AM

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 7/6/2014 12:26:27 AM
Sitting here singing along & wiping tears. Saw PHC 1st time World Theater in 1976 with Mother and relatives no longer here. Hope we have another 40 years.

WUSF in Tampa is broadcasting the full three hours now and will re-broadcast the full three hours tomorrow at noon (Eastern Time). Folks can listen online to WUSF's live stream, if needed. Thanks APHC and Garrison Keillor for the hearty uplifting, inspiring, pretty good show. It makes a difference in my life!

by Sean Thompson, Tampa 7/6/2014 12:27:45 AM
Jean-Anne, you have company in us now. Thank you for the sweet and sad memory.

Lucy I just scrolled and caught your comment. Love it!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 7/6/2014 12:30:03 AM
I'm so happy WHYY is broadcasting the third hour in Philadelphia. I started listening in 1982--would have earlier, but hadn't heard of it. (Some friends of mine heard about the show from friends of theirs, etc. I don't think there was much advertising in those days.)

by Gerard Jacobitz 7/6/2014 12:30:41 AM
Cheers for WHYY! Glad you're on chat and tuned in, Gerard!
