Gospel Birds is a collection of nine classic and very funny monologues from the early years of A Prairie Home Companion. In addition to the title story (about Irma and Ernie Lundeen's traveling flock of acrobatic, bible-reciting birds), contents include:
Pastor Ingquist's Trip to Orlando
Mammoth Concert Tickets
Bruno, the Fishing Dog
Gospel Birds
Meeting Donny Hart at the Bus Stop
A Day at the Circus with Mazumbo
The Tollerud's Korean Baby
Sylvester Krueger's Desk
Babe Ruth visits Lake Wobegon
Gospel Birds is Garrison Keillor at his very best-endearing insights, gentle humor and warm affection for the human foibles we all share.
