Recently I have found the homepage of the famous Prairie Home Companion<\/a> Radio Show. It is possible to listen to the complete shows from previous years in the archive.<\/p>\n

On the page I found a link to the interview with Sara Watkins. Sara Watkins was a member of the famous bluegrass band Nickel Creek with Chris Thile on the mandolin and her brother Sean Watkins.<\/p>\n

Sara Watkins has just produced her solo CD which was produced by John Paul Jones – and in this interview Sara tells about the work with John Paul Jones.<\/p>\n

Here is the link to the interview:<\/p>\n

With the interview there are some songs that Sara played during the Prairie Home Companion shows and that are also included on her latest CD. The first song is Pony, a song composed by Tom Waits – Sara plays a ukulele to accompany herself on this song – here is a video of another performance of Pony:<\/p>\n
