One of the featured guests was Maine's own <a href="http://www.davidmallett.com/home.html">David Mallett</a> who provided an excellent performance. First was a work called <em>Angel Standing</em> followed by a new piece <em>Fishing.</em> <em>Fishing</em> is part of a project called <em>The Fable True</em>, based upon the words of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau">Henry David Thoreau </a>and celebrates the 150 anniversary of Thoreau's final trip to Maine. You can get <a href="http://www.davidmallett.com/thefabletruecd.html">more info about Dave and the new album on his website</a>.</div><div></div><br /><div>Mallett also closed the show with <em>"the Maine state theme song,"</em> <strong>The Garden Song</strong> which itself is celebrating a 30th anniversary. There couldn't have been a dry eye in the house. </div><div></div><br /><div>But not to despair! PHC is streamed on-line and can be listen to by visiting the website. <a href="http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2008/05/03/index.shtml">Here is the link to the May 3rd show. </a></div><div> </div><div>~jeb</div>john eric brandthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05243606306592591756noreply@blogger.com
