A local bookstore just got in some boxed sets of cassettes of portions of various PHC shows (apparently mostly comedy portions). Each set has four one hour tapes, one for each season of the year. It looks like these were released a few years ago, but that's about all I can tell. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they worth the ~$35 the bookstore is charging? -- Sam Rebelsky UUCP : ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!r032 ARPA : x9.xsr%uchicago.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa "If god could do the tricks that we can do, he'd be a happy man."

The tapes were made by Minnesota Public Radio in St. Paul. They are con-
sioderably cheaper if you buy from Minnesota Public Radio. They are Keilor s
favorites of the past few years. I think they are worth the money, but remem-
ber, I m the kid from North Dakota. I am told Keilor is making more tapes for
sale through MPR. Also, theater people tell me Keilor is one of the best vocal
performers in the business. Try the tapes, you'll like them. You can also copy
them and give them as birthday gifts to your non-Scandanavian friends. Yours

I bought this set last Christmas from Minnesota Public Radio for $30 so the price doesn't seem unreasonable considering there's no postage charges... It's all News from Lake Wobegon, again classified according to the seasons. Whether it's worth it is up to you. I bought them for my father, who tapes parts of the show anyway for later listening.

I only know of one set, entitled "News from Lake Wobegon." It is exactly what it sounds like. I rather enjoy them, but I doubt I would pay $35 for them. I thnk they are available direct from Minnesota Public Radio. Write to them in St Paul and ask for the PHC catalog or the "Wireless" catalog. -- Norman Ramsey ARPA: norman@lasspvax -- or -- norman%lasspvax@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu UUCP: {ihnp4,allegra,...}!cornell!lasspvax!norman BITNET: (in desperation only) ZSYJARTJ at CORNELLA US Mail: Dept Physics, Clark Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853 Telephone: (607)-256-3944 (work) (607)-272-7750 (home)
