If you showed up on July 6, 1974, at the Janet Wallace Auditorium at Macalester College in Saint Paul and plunked down you $1 admission (50 cents for kids) to attend the very first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, you were in select company.  There were about 12 people in the audience. But those in attendance thought there were worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon, so Garrison Keillor and the APHC team went on to produce close to 500 live shows in the first 10 years alone.

Today, A Prairie Home Companion, is heard by more than 4 million listeners each week on some 580 public radio stations, and abroad on America One and the Armed Forces Networks in Europe and the Far East.  Garrison Keillor states, "This is the show I'd do if I could only do one more show.  It's the essence of everything from the past 34 years of Prairie Home that was funny and heartbreaking and made for great radio.  The terrific Suzy Bogguss joins us for the singing, and Guy Noir reminisces about his salad days in the P.I. business, and I'll tell about the little town that time forgot and State Fairs and the first girl I loved, and we'll all sing 'America the Beautiful' and go home."
