Immensely talented people, who have the potential to impress anyone just with the way they talk are an intellectual asset for the society, and Garrison Keillor is surely one of them. Born in 1942, American radio star, humorist, author and storyteller Garrison Keillor was named by his parents Gary Edward Garrison Keillor . He earned most of his popularity and public recognition for his show named A Prairie Home Companion on Minnesota Public Radio .

Coming from a humble background, Garrison Keillor’s father was a postal worker and carpenter. He joined the world of radio and show business in 1969 at Minnesota Educational Radio (MER) that has now been renamed as Minnesota Public Radio (MPR). One of his first shows included The Morning Program that he hosted from 6 to 9 in the morning during weekdays. The program was also called as A Prairie Home Entertainment, and it was broadcasted from the St. John’s University at Collegeville on KSJR 90.1 FM .

Through the show Keillor earned a great fan following, owing to the fact that it was unique especially in the music it presented. The show presented more of fresh and modern music that was in contrast with the stations usual style of classic music. It was this time that he also explored his abilities of story writing, and started composing fictional stories for a local magazine, The New Yorker . It was during this time that Local Family Keeps Son Happy was published and its inspirational story got great appreciation. The show was running successfully when he took a break from his career as he resigned from The Morning Program as a protest to some actions taken by the management of the radio station against him, that, according to him, were attempted to hinder his musical programming. A month later he resumed the show and it was then renamed as A Prairie Home Companion.
