Old Sweet Songs from A Prairie Home Companion: 1974 - 1976
The ¼-inch, 2-track tapes we used to record the earliest episodes of A Prairie Home Companion have survived flood, smoke damage, and the immutable and universal effects of aging. Starting around 1994, with the help of 3M and some very skilled engineers at Minnesota Public Radio, we undertook the process of baking and digitizing all archival tapes.
The technical results were generally excellent, but upon close analysis, minor errors in the original mixes and tape machine calibration issues are undeniable; we were a low-budget guerilla radio organization in those days.
However, nothing I've heard has ever diminished the joy I feel hearing this music again, music that filled my childhood with laughter and meaning. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, despite its imperfections. — Jason Keillor (co-producer, engineer)
Catalog Description:
Lovingly selected from the earliest archives of A Prairie Home Companion, this heirloom collection represents the music from earliest years of the now legendary show: 1974–1976. With songs and tunes from jazz pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and the first house band, The Powdermilk Biscuit Band (Adam Granger, Bob Douglas and Mary DuShane). 2 hrs.
From the Publisher:
Musical treasures from the earliest days of this enduringly popular radio show. A must for any collector. On July 6, 1974, about a dozen people made their way to the Janet Wallace Auditorium at Macalester College in St. Paul for the first broadcast of a new radio show. Things went pretty well, so Garrison Keillor and his team produced another show, then another . . . close to 500 in the first 10 years alone.
Today A Prairie Home Companion is heard by more than 4 million listeners each week on 590 public radio stations. This new collection looks back at the early days, in particular early music, with pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull, and the first Powdermilk Biscuit Band: Adam Granger, Bob Douglas, and Mary DuShane. This collection is a treat for longtime fans who love the show's music.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com
