Prairie Home at Sea – 2

Part 2 of Donna Fox’s tale of the recent A Prairie Home Companion cruise to Alaska.

July 15 At sea

The schedule is jam-packed with musicians in every venue on the ship. We have resigned ourselves to the fact that we cannot see everyone we want.

Today we contented ourselves with “True Confessions”, a dialogue between Garrison and a young Lutheran minister from Minnesota. Garrison explained that he wanted to know if he had been wrong in how he depicted the minister’s “people” since Garrison’s “people” were evangelical Christians. The minister held his own with Garrison. We were shocked to see Garrison guffaw at some of the minister’s observations.
