5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best of Garrison Keillor, May 24, 1999

This review is from: News from Lake Wobegon: Fall (Audio Cassette)

"Fall" contains the single funniest Lake Wobegon monolgue yet written: "Bruno the Fishing Dog." It also contains a typically Minnesotan Thanksgiving recap ("Hors duerves at the Tollefson's, can you believe it?"), and a devastating 24-minute epic, "The Royal Family," that has nothing to do with the Windsors.

Owning this collection (and "Gospel Birds") is a must for fans, and a great starting place for newbies.

Such a joy to listen to this man tell his stories. No matter who you are or where you grew up and now live, his tales are sure to remind you of someone whom youknow.

This review is from: Fall: Stories from the Collection News from Lake Wobegon (Audio CD)

I was looking for good Garrison Keilor's monologues and I didn't like the CD of lake Wobegon as much as some of his other stuff. I am still looking for "the Young lutheran's guide to the orchestra" for exemple. That was way funier. I still really like this man, even if this Fall CD is not my favorite. Does anyone know if he made CDs of his more recent stuff?
