Start giftingA Prairie Home Companion: The Final Performance
Here's the last weekly live broadcast that started it all—the glorious tradition of saying goodbye. The final performance (June 13, 1987) brought Garrison Keillor and guests together for sweet music, sparkling wit, and the latest "News from Lake Wobegon."

Garrison Keillor, born in Anoka, Minnesota, in 1942, is an essayist, columnist, blogger, and writer of sonnets, songs, and limericks, whose novel Pontoon the New York Times said was "a tough-minded book . . . full of wistfulness and futility yet somehow spangled with hope"-no easy matter, especially the spangling. Keillor wrote and hosted the radio show A Prairie Home Companion for forty years, all thanks to kind aunts and good teachers and a very high threshold of boredom. In his retirement, he's written a memoir and a novel. He and his wife, Jenny Lind Nilsson, live in Minneapolis and New York.
