a-rooooooooooooo!

Garrison Keillor was at Wolf Trap here last week and we went to see his show on Friday night. The red tennis shoes, socks and matching bowtie threw me--he so obviously loves what he does.

What a magical show. I have not honestly laughed so hard in years. He got a lot of good government jokes in, as there were High Government Officials in the audience for the live broadcast show on Saturday night--had to get the digs in beforehand.

It was most interesting to me to listen to the live show on Saturday night as well and note just how different the two shows actually were. There were some same songs, but jokes, skits and monologues were almost completely different. The troupe has an amazing ability to think on its feet and this strikes me as most impressive in humor presentations. The Old Crow Medicine Show gave a great performance. What a neat group of young musicians.

We laughed. We fought back tears. We howled. What a perfect night. A--roooooo...

  2. We even get him over here in NZ - they play broadcasts of his show in the summer when things are quiet.
