- Aired in 2004 as a celebration of A Prairie Home Companion's 30th year on air.
This part of the show is pretty much my view of american culture, and most definitely my view of skilled musicians.
to Garrison Keillor (because it's of course you that reads this and takes down copyrighted videos)
this may be illegal to some degree, but there doesn't seem to be too many good videos on youtube or the internet in general that give a good idea of what A Prairie Home Companion really is, so i think leaving it up is a fine idea.
not that I've seen any videos taken down by the public radio...
And for all yall that want to see the rest, you can order the full dvd on amazon

Lutheran Minnesotan here. Garrison absolutely got it right with every show he did. Sure do miss his shows.
Are you going to any shows now?
What a trip! I do so miss "Prairie Home Companion," and this video is good for the soul.
Amen! Good old foot stompin', hand clappin' joy!
This song is my childhood I would song it in the car during traffic and my mom would scream "NOOOOOOOOOO"
LOL
A masterpiece. I miss it terribly, big part of my week since '81.
It's 2023 and the world needs more Prairie Home.
Because we ain't gettin' any more Jack Benny.
That fiddler is too good for colored TV, and the steel guitar is right up there with him. Nero My Dog Has Fleas!! Yes, indeed GK and crew, you all are missed beyond words. It will be the end of 2022 in a few short days, and yes, we'll still be clapping along to the music and laughing at the stories into the years ahead. 🤗
Miss Garrison Keiler on Sunday afternoon’s!
Ain't we got fun? Miss that show.
Who needs biscuits when there's music and harmony like this....darn good for ya!
Rich is a musical monster on the piano.
Next year would have been the show's 50th anniversary. _Requiescat in pace,_ sweet prince.
The instrumental intro up to 1:22 is the happiest music I have ever heard.
Yes just listen to that energy and enthusiasm. Energetic violin.
"Nero my dog has fleas" is done to the melody of the hymn, Nearer My God To Thee which is purported to be the last song played on the Titanic as she sank.
It almost certainly wasn't, as the band was playing upbeat, happy songs to try to keep the passengers from panicking. The story of them playing "Nearer My God To Thee" comes from various films.
This performance is flat out miraculous!
Saw Garrison live last summer--AWSOME!
What a GREAT show. I truly miss it.
I always enjoyed this part of the broadcast.
I love powdermilk biscuits and good ole garrison keillor makes you laugh in his special humor.........
Gifted and talented people here all of them. Americana at it best
I regret not seeing PHC with Garrison Keillor at the helm.
The Spirit of Where Are Thou Brother is Shining at Garrison Keillor's Shows.
Thank you.
More like the spirit of Prairie Home Companion in O Brother Where Art Thou.
Slingblade can really play that piano!
its sad to think that stuff like this is slowly slipping away from our grasp...such good entertainment, such good music, such skill and talent, and most af all, such wonderful creativity
uriahstone It's not slipping away. It's still around, and still being reborn all the time. This stuff just hasn't been the top of pop-culture for many decades, but what is the top of pop-culture is not everything.
Also...there are plenty of skilled music and creativity all over the place in almost every genre.
@Liz Muschinski Oh, well if you haven't seen it then it must be true 😜
i totally agree with 'uriahstone"
I've grown up and lived in various small towns in the NW United States, and you absolutely still see this kind of folk music and art.
30th Anniversary Show? This must have gone on during a pledge-break... but this is a classic performance.
I really miss this program. Glad I made the drive to MN to see this in person.
I am a 19 year old Asian man from California. I moved to McFarland, Wisconsin in 2012 and heard this on the radio on one Saturday evening. I loved his monologue, loved the voice acting, and loved the music. I instantly became a fan. I am also a guitarist, and have played for 6 years. I'm wondering if I can get a job doing this kind of work.
I think I am the only Italian fan of them, but I have become one since i saw Robert Altman's film about the radio show...
Have you thought of putting out ads from a guitarist seeking other musicians to jam with? Go to a music store and post ads, talk to people there. Some impromptu jams could lead to a band being put together, could lead to a lot of other possibilities.
Give us an update if you please! :)
Wish Garrison had given Sue Scott and others each a chance to be the host including his son and see if magic happens.
Besides being great singers, those two ladies are lovely.
This is great. Thanks for posting. Love this show
Terrific! Talking about high school memories is what I do with classmates from the class of 61. Garrison Keillor remains an inspiration to me, as I am the same exact age as GK. Am just leaving to share memories from the 50s and 60's with some of the residents of the Eventide care center in Moorhead. And to get to that venue, I pass the namesake of A Prairie Home Companion, the "Prairie Home Cemetery on 8th street in Moorhead. I'll share that with the group.
I Listen to PHC every other Sun. The PMB song has only one verse these day's, Probably due Copyright issues. thanks for the vid link. The good old day's when they let it loose, in the big blue box.
This was a special extended version for the show's 30th anniversary.
It's normally just a little jingle with the main tune and the "has your family tried 'em" bit inserted as a fake sponsor ad. This extended medley version was for a special occasion.
I hope never take this from me! It makes me so very HAPPY!
This is the best version of this song
Love Garrison!!!
Minnesota born and raised :-)
This is just my favorite most watched video on here.
Has your famly tried em powdermilk!
Has your famly tried em powdermilk!
If your family's tried it all you know
you satisfied em
They're a real hot item ...PowderMilk!
Be kind to your web-footed friends,
For a duck may be somebody's mother,
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather is very cold and damp,
You may think that this is the end....
but its not because there's one more chorus
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather is very cold and damp!
Well, I had a little chickenAnd she wouldn't lay an egg So I poured hot water all up and down her legAnd the little chicken hollered and the little chicken begged But chicken laid a hard boiled egg!
Because I could not stop for Death--
He kindly stopped for me-- The carriage but just ourselves
and immortality...
Oh, you can't get to heaven (Oh, you can't to heaven)
On roller skates. (On roller skates.) You'll roll right by (You'll roll right by) Them pearly gates. (Those pearly gates.)
Oh, you can't get to heaven on roller skates. You'll roll right by those pearly gates. I ain't a-gonna grieve my Lord no more.
King George, he had a date He stayed out very late, He was the King. Queen Mary paced the floor, King George came in at four, She met him at the door-- God save the King!
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts, Jubilated monkey's meat.Concentrated birdie's feet.A great big jar of all purpose porpoise pus
And me without my spoon.[5] Ohhhhhhh, Joes got a head like a ping-pong ball, Joe's got a head like a ping-pong ball, Joe's got a head like a ping-pong ball like a piiiinnnnngggg, like a ping-pong ball.
Ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong ball.
ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong,
ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong ball boing boing...
Ohhhhhhh, Joes got a head like a ping-pong ball,Joe'sgot a head like a ping-pong ball, Joe's got a head like a ping-pong ball like a piiiinnnnngggg, like a ping-pong ball.
Nero, my dog has fleas.
Nero has fleas.
Nero my dog has fleas.
Nero has fleas.
Thank you so very much for your sharing the lyrics to great songs.
Two or three of these we used to sing as kids in elementary school - on the playground, of course.
Wow - I have only heard these on the radio and now visuals!!!
Where is Garrison Keilor - please come out of retirement we need your wisdom and wit even more in these days.
Crazy that this year would’ve been 50 years if they hadn’t cancelled it. RIP Lake Woebegone.
I love this!! I like to write different lyrics to old songs too so this is right up my alley.
Just so brilliant! Thanks for the upload.
And to think what's happened now.
nothing better!
Love it! Best commercial ever!
so much fun!
There is another forest.
Great way to talk about life!
Quite original.
Heaven on earth!
I'd FORGOTTEN! How could I?
Love it!
The Carter Family would like this.
every saturday at 5 im listening
Yes! When days were good.
Anyone here have a complete breakdown of the songs included in this medley?
@shaneu1 and don't forget Beethoven's Ninth and the William Tell overture.
Joe’s got a head like a ping ping pong ball. 🎼
Is it just me or does the new phc program just not have "it"? Also where can you buy these powdermilk biscuits?😉
Awesome fiddling
Looking to get my folks a PHC DVD... which one is best for an introduction? To my surprise, they never heard of PHC but I'd think they'd really like- seems right up their alley. Any advice?
♥♥♥♥♥
Emily Dickinson poems can be sung to Yellow Rose of Texas. Joe’s got a head like a ping pong ball-
there’s something for 2023.
More to the point, the Pokémon theme song can be sung to the tune of Yellow Rose of Texas. (So can the Gilligan's Island theme song.)
bluegrass at it's best.
No-one can equal or replace Garrison Keilor and PHC. I miss G and the old show so much!
M. Mancini
P-H-C ❤
Nothing but ... entertainment for the Troops! Yee~Haw
God save the King
No, but Professor Flitwick 3:20
3 in just listen.
I'm guessing this was filmed because it was the 30th anniversary. It's not usually a TV show, right
I’m crushing on the girl in the blue sweater does anyone know her name?
if only he'd release the american radio company of the air, but won't.
I listened to this show for years. Is powder milk an actual brand or were they just playing around?
Like the American Duct Tape Council, the Catchup Advisory Board, Bebop-a-Reebop Rhubarb Pie, and all the other sponsors, Powdermilk Biscuits was made up for the show.
Ohhh, I miss GK. The schnook who took over the show sucks.
this one had nothing to do with powder milk biscuits
They turned a simple theme song into a medley. And jammed their asses off. It was great.
I'm so confused. what does king George have to do with it.
🦃😳🪓
Garrison looks like Michael Moore on Meth
😆 lmao !!!
That was pretty good, but can you get in the name of the ~product~, just a little more?
I love Garrison Keillor, but man does he have a face for radio.
18 years ago - Joe's got a head like a ping pong ball. How prophetic.
There HAS TO BE SOME form of REPENTANCE & path back For Mistakes. Garrison Keillor did something objectionable, but not horrible.

I remember in my college days some Frat boys killed a cat. Yes Horrible. My Point, with the Vietnam War going on, hardly anyone wrote the paper protesting. With the cat incident, old ladies came out of the woodwork & wallpaper to complain.
What did he do? I heard the other day he admitted to treating women unfairly. He wasn't abusive, was he? All I knew was he disappeared and Chris Thiele took over. Hated it. Was glad when they ended it and changed it to Live from Here. Then I could just ignore it.
@Camilo //
I read from GARRISON that he went to hug somebody & his hand ACCIDENTALLY went up behind her shirt. I don't know. Many women got on the Band Wagon. They said he kind of angled them. Nothing too bad as trying to force himself on them, or showing his junk. /// IDK if it was before or after Charlie Rose & other NPR/PBS house cleaning.
Is this 10 min Rickroll song
Garrison fired for inappropriate behavior.🤣🤣🤣 Plenty to talk about at The Side Track Tap in Lake Wobegon this week huh Carson? Better have a big plate of Powdermilk bisquits smothered in Ketchup,and a big slice of Bebop Reebop Rhubarb pie. I dont think Guy Noir is gonna help you.
😆
he loves to interject his crappy singing into everything
+hurrdurr25 You love interjecting your crappy opinions into everything.
miztahfrawg
it's hardly my opinion; it's shared by many people. He's awful. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
+hurrdurr25 You're awful. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
miztahfrawg
go to bed garrison
+hurrdurr25 Joke's on you I'm already in bed
I just read PHC ended, and I NEVER got it.
I just sat through this, and, personally find this ...bad, in every respect; just 'cute' in a way which hurts. The lyrics - poor juvenile,grade-school rhymes? Repeated over-and-over? And people listened to this? Over-and-over? This is a case where people are afraid of being branded mean' for disliking this 'quaint' (childishly written), and utterly painful nonsense.
553 likes and 8 dislikes just saying better detour around Minnesota on your travels it would probably be very painful
You really shouldn't speak for everyone. The point is there IS NO POINT. They're just showing off their musical prowess and having fun.
Just because there isn't some profound message doesn't make it less entertaining.
You poor poor bastard. God have mercy on the sucker who doesn’t understand and enjoy this show.
Something seriously wrong if you can’t find something to love in all this nonsense, it works on so many levels. I love it!
