The Rhubarb Tour is the soul of A Prairie Home Companion stories from Lake Wobegon, passionate duets, the philosophy of Guy Noir, wild radio dramas starring sound-effects genius Fred Newman, and the incredible Guy's All Star Shoe Band.
"This is the show I'd do if I could only do one more show," says Garrison Keillor. "It's the essence of everything from the past thirty-four years of Prairie Home that was funny and heart-breaking and made for great radio. The great Suzy Bogguss joins us for the singing, and Guy Noir reminisces about his salad days in the P.I. business, and I'll tell about the little town that time forgot and State Fairs and the first girl I loved and we'll all sing "America the Beautiful" and go home.
