Prairie Home Companion

What's your secret talent?

I don't think I have any secrets. But most people today are suprised to find out that I wrote the song "Moose in My House," and other comedy songs that have gotten significant radio airplay.

What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?

Billy Joel's tune "And So It Goes" from Jennifer Warnes' CD "The Well"

What sound is most characteristic of where you live?

three young boys wrestling. the sounds cycles through every room in the house.

What's your favorite sound memory?

Another reporter and I were doing a piece for Monitoradio with an Audubon Society rep on Cape Cod late one evening. Where were getting great sound, but the cherry on top came when our very proper guide thoroughly instructed us on how to safely traverse a boardwalk through a swampy area we were about to cross, and then turned and fell right into it himself. It was awesome. Better humor could never be scripted.

Which station do you listen to most?
