Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home...
Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion fame is one of America's great storytellers. Surely the high point of his programs is the long monologue about his imaginary small town of Lake Wobegon in Minnesota.
Have you ever wondered where he gained his penchant for storytelling? He says it was his Uncle Lew Powell who inspired him. His uncle would come to visit his parents who tended to be shy and withdrawn. Late in the evening young Garrison used to lie on the floor unnoticed and listen to his Uncle Lew spin stories about their family at the turn of the century.
