The Prairie Home Companion radio show came to Ann Arbor last night and broadcast from the world famous Hill Auditorium.
I attended the live show.
Forumite Joe Savage was in the house band for the broadcast. Joe played pedal steel as well as resophonic guitar throughout the show. He did a beautiful job backing up Suzy Bogguss and local Michigan favorites 'The Milroys'. Joe really shined on Suzy Boguss' performance of 'Someday Soon' - beautiful touch and tone!
Thanks for the great music Joe and it was a pleasure spending a few moments chatting with you after the show.

I too particularly enjoyed, "Someday Soon." There seems to have been steel guitar on PHC almost every week lately (or at least every week I manage to tune in). But this is the first week I caught the name.

We listen to Midwest Country and the gang on RFD TV by Direct TV Satelite channel 379 each Saturday eve. at 9:00 here in Columbus, Indiana.
It is one of our favorite shows. We are so glad to be able to listen to good country music.
We think Joe does a great job on the Pedal Steel guitar and Resophonic lap steel. |

Hey Gerald. Thanks, man. After all the rush to get out of there to catch my flight, the plane was delayed and I waited at the airport for 2 hours! Coulda hung around longer in town. At any rate, glad you could make it and I hope it was a decent seat.
That auditorium is really beautiful!
BTW, I was prepared to play the classic Emmons fill during the first verse, by Suzy wanted to keep it open with no fills at all.
I was a good show and Ann Arbor seems like a pretty happenin' town.
Have a good time at the Ukefest!
All the Best,

| I caught part of the show too and enjoyed it; nice playing, Joe! My son is a student at U. Michigan and so we've been to the Hill Auditorium; great space for this. |

Thanks Jim, I know that's one of "your" tunes. 
Maybe this is in the wrong section, though, considering I was playing mostly pedal steel.
Peace,

Moved to Steel Players from Steel Without Pedals. I'm sorry to say I didn't listen to the show yet myself, but I know the archive should be available online later this week.

Joe, you sounded really fantastic!
It seems you've been on there a few weeks in a row. Are you becoming a full time member of the band? |

Joe played the show here in L.A. a week or 2 ago, and he was excellent.
His "Perennial Sideman" CD is excellent too. I've mentioned this so many times I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but the CD really is that good.

Mike....Thanks again, man. Say hi to Al for me.
Stephan....I did three weeks in a row, I've got one more July 5th and then I'm doing the Rhubarb Tour in August. As far as being a regular member....it would be nice, but I'm not jumping to any conclusions like that. If they continue to call, I'll continue to show up!!  http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/rhubarb/2008/
All the Best,

| if Joe were a regular on PHC the show would hit new heights of excellence. Joe is top shelf on any instruments he decides to play. |
