I somehow missed these vignettes when they were popular but really enjoyed them.

Book Description
One of the best-selling spoken word audios of all time, this is the original collection of Garrison Keillor monologues. Funny and touching, these 20 stories from live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion follow the seasons in Lake Wobegon.
From the Back Cover
"These stories were made possible by the people who sat and listened to them, and I am very grateful for their patience. From the stage, they appear so calm and handsome and hopeful, I wish I could sit with them and wait for whatever it is they're waiting for. They remind me of the people (including me) who used to sit around and listen to Uncle Lew Powell reel off a few. This batch was done in memory of that dear man and of other greats I've known whom God gave a powerful affection for humankind, and the gift of gab." - Garrison Keillor, 1983
