This week's classic rebroadcast: a return to October 2014 and a broadcast originally from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Folk and blues singer Jim Kweskin delivers "Eight More Miles to Louisville" and "Blues in the Bottle"; Lera Lynn visits from Nashville for "Out To Sea" and "I'm Your Fool"; and Minnesota's Poet Laureate Joyce Sutphen reads "Autumn Again" and "Next Time." Plus: Dusty and Lefty visit a town obsessed with fly- and fowl-borne flu, Rich Dworsky and The October Boys play guitarist Chris Siebold's "Amor Afastado"; and a message from the Catchup Advisory Board. In Lake Wobegon, Pastor Liz delivers a sermon about the Parable of the Wedding Feast.

Notes from Joyce Sutphen about this weekend's rebroadcast:
I think I'm one of the original "shy folks" that Garrison has been talking about over the years, but everyone on the show went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and of course it helps that I have been listening to A Prairie Home Companion since the beginning of time. I'm glad I was able to read those poems about my father and the farm I love; it meant a lot to him, and everything I said was true. The weather was perfect that Saturday -- warm and golden. If only I could sing like Lera Lynn!
Notes from Lera Lynn about this weekend's rebroadcast:
It probably goes without saying but Garrison Keillor is one of the most unique people I've ever worked with. Of all the APHC episodes in which I had the honor to participate, this one was perhaps the most memorable, as it would become the last time I shared the stage with Garrison. (Possibly -- who knows what the future holds!?) This night stands out because after the show he joined us for dinner, and sitting across the table from me I could see that the character on the radio, the voice of Garrison, is truly the spirit of the man as well, not just act for "the show." And I thought it so brilliant that someone could align their true personality so perfectly with such wide-reaching show business. These days it seems that most entertainment and "personalities" are curated to death, so I found it inspiring to learn that, with Garrison, the curiosity and wit is sincere and truly endless.
