This is a neat live Keillor show that has you feeling as though you are in the Mark Twain house in Harford Connecticut. Very personal views of Twain with wonderful comparisons and observations by and of Keillor. Different than the usual Garrison Keillor Prairie Home Companion Show, a genuine trip into history with Keillor's usual irreverant flare for truth and comedy.

My husband loves all things Garrison!! I bought him this CD to enjoy while riding the stationary bike. He has many CD's by him and while he loves them all, never have I heard him laugh as he did while listening to this one. Laughter is good medicene!! Definitely for anyone who enjoys Garrison and likes Mark Twain, as it is recorded from his house.

Garrison Keillor does it again! He brings his "Prairie Home Companion" style to broadcast a live show from Mark Twain's home in Hartford Connecticut. For people familiar with his "Prairie Home Companion" show this show will be familiar except that this time it has a singular subject, Mark Twain. Keillor's love and admiration for Twain shows through as he takes you from room to room with descriptions, stories, and musical performances. I will admit my bias in that I am a fan of the "Prairie Home Companion" shows, but people who are familiar with Twain's work and people who are not so familiar alike will learn details about Twain listening to this engaging show. The live radio format lends itself to Twain as it is spontaneous much like Twain himself. If you are planning to visit the Mark Twain House, this program will greatly enhance your experience.
