Suite in F Major, with Garrison Keillor

September 9, 2009 7:52 PM

Does anyone happen to have, or know where I can get a recording of a very old Prairie Home Companion featuring (well it's what I'm after it for) a piece about a couple leaving a dinner party with friends, set to Handel's Water Music?

My google fu fails me, and I'm not even sure it's out there to find anymore...
I had it on cassette for years, and it must have been the very late eighties it was recorded.

I've been looking for it for years, and the other thing I've been looking for for about as long just showed up, so figured I should see if anyone here might have it hidden away.

I assume you know about the online show archive?

I did a quick search for the phrase "water music" and this is the only show that listed it in the music notes. Might be worth a listen.

I think you're looking for "Songs of Parting" on the Final Performance CD.

Ah! That's the one, thanks corey.
I had looked at that track listing earlier in a new search (based on The Cat Came Back being on the tape too) but either missed that track name entirely, or was too stupid to put it together.
Splendid! Another years long conundrum solved.

And thanks kdern for the effort. Much appreciated. I had searched through those before, and think that that one is for a different purpose, a medley of sorts.
