    Tannahill Weaver In Lake Wobegon

    News fron Green Linnet:

    Tannahill Weavers In Lake Wobegon!
    The Tannies take their Highland harmonies to the little town that time forgot this weekend. The band will be live on national radio on A Prairie Home Companion, with host Garrison Keillor. Tune in to your local public station for a good blast of Highland pipes and humor. To learn more, visit prairiehome.publicradio.org.

    The band continues their US tour on Sunday in Denver at Swallow Hill, www.swallowhill.com , and later in the month in Dayton, Columbus, and Bellingham WA. Hear what one reviewer recently described as "...when the Tannies crank it, their light glows white-hot and generates enough heat to solve the energy crisis." See valleyadvocate.com for details.

    I might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy.

    Cool, thanks for the heads up Sherry!
    I'll tune in on Saturday as we drive up to the pumpkin patch.

    We have tix for the Sunday show here in Denver. Always a great show and for those of you who play the pipes.....Denver is 2000' above Ben Nevis, talk about your aerobic exercise!

    Graham: You can listen to the show after it is broadcast. Prairie Home Campanion has a website with complete archives you can listen to. The website is http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/archive.php You just need realplayer. It is a great show. Garrison Keillor is a treasure and a wonderful entertainer. They have great musical guests. It is the first place I heard the Battlefield Band, and Vasen (who while not Scottish, do prove that the Vikings had a great influence on the culture) and other great folk groups.
    I'm not crazy, I'm just running.
