I'm listening to Navy Band Southwest, a featured musical guest on "Prairie Home Companion." They're being well-received; the broadcast is from San Diego.
The band, under the direction of LT Mark K. Corbliss, has already performed a few marches, a service medley and a sing-along version of "America, the Beautiful."
And the show isn't over yet.
You can probably catch a rebroadcast of the show tomorrow, Sunday, 27FEB11, on a local National Public Radio station, or streaming on the web. Details at Prairie Home Companion's website.
And if you do, don't tune out too soon. The band and its trumpet soloist,
Stephanie Robinson, appear throughout the two-hour show.
UPDATE: The show is ending, and the band is playing another march while Garrison Keillor announces the band members' names!
