Delightful!

Has it really been 34 years since APHC first showed up on the air? If you aren't old enough to have been a fan of the original series- or if you've been turned off by the increasingly dark tone of the show in recent years- you owe it to yourself to listen to this wonderful collection.

In the early days, Keillor still seemed excited to be a part of a radio show, rather than coming across as a dour preacher lecturing us. The acts were a cross section of traditional music, and Lake Woebegone was a wonderful little town full of curious characters and businesses like Bertha's Kitty Botique and the Sidetrack Tap. It was a place you went to to leave the modern world- not a source of metaphor for Keillor's political opinions.

I had the album many years ago, but lost it in an apartment fire back in the 1980s. I'm thrilled to own a copy again.
