Inside Garrison Keillors fabled world of A Prairie Home Companion

GARRISON KEILLOR:

You pick up real stories in the course of a week and you find ways to work them in.

You hear a story about a man who built himself a house around the corner from his mother's house, so that he could stand in his kitchen window and he could see her in her kitchen window. That's a real story.

Now the rest is up to- is up to me. And I need to bring in some other people here.

I'm going to make his the only house in town that welcomes Mormon and Jehovah's Witness missionaries.

In fact, Keillor often writes "The News from Lake Wobegon" on the morning of the show, and then gets up on stage without notes.
