Tune in Saturday, May 9 to Prairie Home Companion on your local public radio station. You'll hear my band Big Medicine, Polecat Creek, and Robin and Linda Williams. Two out of the three acts on the show feature clawhammer banjo! See you on the radio.--JN

Prairie Home Companion???? I didn't think that show was still on. We used to all get together on Saturday nights to listen to that show (had to find somebody's house who lived where they could pick up radio stations... we were so far back in the holler we couldn't pick anything up)... listen to the show and then make music ourselves and make our own little funny stories up, like that guy.... what was his name..????? Lake Woebegone, where all the children have good teeth or something.... can't remember now. I didn't even think about that show for the past 20 years after we moved up here... just figured it wasn't on anymore.
I'll have to try to remember to tune it to it!!!

Outstanding! I look forward to hearing it. And I do believe they put recorded segments on their website after broadcast in case anyone is not able to tune in.

I won't miss it. Often the show is filmed and you can actually watch it on their website.
Big Medicine is a tremendous representative for old time music.

Great news, Joe. I'll be out of town this weekend, but I'll try to find it on the dial. Thanks for the tip about seeing the video later, Don.

I was just at the PHC website and saw that. Good luck on the show. Look forward to hearing it.
I dont play favorites. I play the banjo.

Oughta be a great show -- I get a Friday email each week from my personal friend Garrison telling me who will be on PHC on Saturday night. I was delighted to discover a BHO comrade will be on tonite.
All three bands feature clawhammer banjo -- Linda Williams uses it as a song accompaniment. Robin and LInda's Fine Band includes a veterinarian fiddler and Jim Watson, mandolinist/bassist from the Red Clay Ramblers.

Just caught Big Medicine's last tune on Prairie Home Companion. Excellent. Thanks for the heads up. It's not often that OT music is broadcast to a national audience. You guys were really cooking.

Great job, Joe and fellas in the band. Was that a tear in Garrison Keillor's eye after "Red Rocking Chair" on Mother's Day eve? and a sellout at the big new venue in Durham, how good that is.... Blessed are those that can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused...

Thanks for the link--I wanted to hear this--but we were camped on an isolated stretch of beach in North Florida and couldn't bring it up on Saturday. :)
Best wishes,

If you suspect you need a new banjo--you do. Trust your musical instincts. If a banjo calls to you to buy it, don''t fight destiny. It was meant to be. :)

Just heard it on the PHC website. Like Garrison said, "That's how string band music is supposed to sound". Good job Joe

Wow! I can hardly wait to tune in and hear Garrison Keilor ruin your music by attempting to sing along. I especially can't wait for him to ruin a duet with whatever female vocalist happens to be on the show, a he croaks and groans along, off key and flat.

Wonderful observation, Cluster.

Cluster--interesting observation. Does there seem to be a trend of MCs, sound folks, dance callers pushing to be a part of the show? Has anyone else noticed this?
I recently played a dance where the dance caller wanted to play basoon with us which was totally inappropriate and seemed pretty ticked off when we diplomatically declined the offer. Then the sound man brought his guitar and asked if he could play with us (how can you play and be on the sound board at the same time?) And readjusted the monitors so we couldn't hear when we diplomatically complimented his sound engineering and requested he provide the sound and we needed him on the soundboard.
I can imagine that on NPR you can hardly decline the MC even if it means he/she totally throws off the sound and show you have carefully prepared for the audience.
