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 6:30 a.m. one weekday in the early 1970s, 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 (6:30 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.

In Memoriam: Legendary Civil Rights Activist Julian Bond
Julian Bond, advisory board member of the Centre for Research in Race and Rights at the University of Nottingham, had been in contact a lot over the last week as we finalised the details of his next visit to the UK with his wife Pamela Horowitz. He died on Saturday night suddenly and after a short illness. He was 75.
Julian Bond would have been at the celebratory centre of my British Academy-sponsored conference on Civil Rights Documentary Cinema and the 1960s: Transatlantic Conversations on History, Race and Rights. Julian Bond embodied the conference theme, as a co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and SNCC’s Communications Director from 1961-66. During his long and stellar career he was consulted on and he acted as narrator for a number of civil rights films, notably Eyes on the Prize; the documentary series which forged a new understanding of the civil rights movement for scholars and public alike in the 1980s.
Instead, the conference will take place in his honour and in his memory.
Activist, Politician, Lawyer, Writer, Poet and Educator, Julian Bond’s social activism and his long-standing service includes as Chairman of the National Association for the
