Garrison's weekly columns
Memories from Staff and Performers
BILL KLING, PRESIDENT EMERITUS OF MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO AND AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA
The beginnings of a “live” Keillor show occurred at a.m. one weekday in the early s, broadcast on classical music station KSJN. I remember waking up to somebody singing “Old Shep,” followed by the ear-piercing sound of a “glass harmonica” (someone rubbing wine glasses). Bad morning.
Garrison and I had talked about a time slot when the show might work ( a.m. wasn&#;t the answer). We settled on Saturdays at 5 p.m., allowing a live audience, already out and about, to come and see it. It was also a time of the week when public radio had a very small listenership so there wouldn’t be an uproar if classical music was interrupted. And we further limited the damage by broadcasting only once a week.
I recall early regular broadcasts of what became A Prairie Home Companion, when the show performed in an abandoned (at least I think it was) skyway between the Mears Park building in Saint Paul and the building next door. That space accommodated about 50 people. And thanks in no small part to producer Margaret Moos’s vision of the possibilities, the show kept going. Amazing.
After a nomadic tour of available, rentable auditoriums, the show

Elegy for Little Richard
Nature is excellence everywhere all the time. Art is excellence&#;extremely rare.
Not only is nature&#;s excellence more abundant, nature is excellence itself; nature defines excellence&#;as does that extremely rare excellence art produces, which is why Pope, and the Enlightenment generally, called the Greeks &#;Nature.&#;
Not only is the poet&#;s excellence rare&#;it is very often a channeling of nature&#;s.
Truly original art (existing completely apart from nature) which is excellent is rarer still.
The wailing of an honored blues singer imitates the wailing of a babe (nature). Poetry that resents nature&#;a poem (I&#;m thinking of no poem in particular, only one that would) which complains, for instance, of loud and unruly children will fail. This failure will be signified by reasonable Criticism&#;which is Nature. Can you imagine a poem seriously complaining about misbehaving children? I can&#;t.
All good Criticism, like anything else people produce, comes from Nature.
Art cannot compete with Nature. It may (and often does) run away from it. This is fine. However, Art cannot challenge Nature. It will fail miserably (whether some critic knows it or not).
Nature is ordered, but often appears chaotic&#;artists who attempt chaos as a
