Well it’s a cold cold dark dark day in Minnesota. Terrible plane crash broke everybody’s hearts. And so it means a lot to us that you came to our show… so glad that you came, and all these wonderful musicians here. Not here to do a eulogy or make a memorial. The guy already has a city named after him, this one right here that we’re in, so what else can you do? <applause> So we’re just going to do our show, just do our show, with a heavy heart which makes it all the more important to do it.
Can I tell you that I cried tonight, listening to A Prarie Home Companion by Minnesota Public Radio.’,CAPTION,’phc.mpr.org’,LEFT);” onMouseout=”return nd();”>this?
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the light surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere high above this wall
I see my life come shining
From the West unto the East
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
by Bob Dylan, as sung by
Garrison Keillor and Stephanie Davis
