Synopsis

This is the live recording of the show that played to sold-out theaters across the country. As Philip Brunelle leads the Minnesota Orchestra, Garrison Keillor does what he does best: talks, tells stories, and ponders the experience of being Lutheran. It's a gentle mix of great music and down-home humor. Includes Keillor's popular parody, "A Young Lutheran's Guide to the Orchestra."
