A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor came to Tucson Convention Center with Public Radio and TV. Last night we watched a two hour live performance of Garrison Keillor which was outstanding. We were surrounded by Minnesotans clapping and tapping their feet to the music. The group iMas played music ranging from Tejano to country to funk. They are a Mexican band and say they are booked for weddings through December.
Dave Rawlings a guitarist, producer, singer, songwriter sang and played for us also. with songs such as I Hear Them All/This Land is Your Land.Plus my favorite part where Garrison does all his songs and stories. My favorite song was There's No Rust in Tucson! Tucson received such nice reviews over and over again in the evening. His research team surely does their home work and we should have even more tourists. coming out to enjoy our wonderful weather and environment. Seems like we are all from somewhere else. My husband from Minnesota and me from Hawaii.

Tucson home sales and Tucson Real Estate should have a boom just from his show.
