I have always admired Keillor's wit..To me his program is sort of a folksy northern version of the Grand Ole Opry.
My wife and I were big fans of his original show back in the 80s. We have travelled through nothern Minnesota,Wisconsin, the U.P in Michingan and around Lake Superior in northwestern Ontario before our kids were born. We miss the magic of the northwoods area and we saw some of that culture that Garrison talks about.
