5.0 out of 5 stars The cat came back, but the CD didn't, September 30, 2006

I used to own this CD, but it has mysteriously vanished. I am buying another copy because I just love the humour and the mix of classical and other music genres. My friends, however, think I'm weird, but that doesn't matter. I think anyone with a sense of humour, a love of classical music and 'middle of the road' and Johnny Cash really needs this CD in their collection. However, be prepared for others to look at you in a slightly different way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely clever words and music, December 2, 2007

This is one of my all-time favourite CD's to play when I want to listen to something fun. Garrison Keillor's trademark humour and creative skill with words is woven seamlessly into Classical music performed by an ensemble of excellent musicians including Frederika von Stade. Like the previous reviewer, my copy ALSO mysteriously vanished and I just purchased my second copy (Siegfried, our cat in residence took it as his personal copy?)

I loved this CD since I purchased it when it first came out. I shared the CD with friends who are cat lovers. They all loved it as well. It is an eclectic collection of soulful, fun and wacky. Nothing else matches it for quality and originality and shear fun.

If you can get a copy, grab it with relish.
