A Prairie Home Companion (shows)

This series is intended to contain known dates of performances, whether broadcast live or "canned" for later. Therefore, there will not be an event for every week, and in rare cases there are multiple in one week. The only info I have entered without verification is Garrison Keillor as host. Sources indicate that he missed no shows from at least 1977 until January 15, 2011.
