[Joined in progress]

[Audience laughs]

LEO:

...My namesake

GARRISON KEILLOR:

Do you sell golf equipment or...?

LEO:

  My namesake did.

GARRISON:

Your namesake.  I see.  You sure you don't have anything to do with school buses?

LEO:

Rode on a few.  I have no empire of buses in the way to fall back on in case this stiffs.

[Audience laughs]

GARRISON:

I was just asking, you don't need to get defensive [audience laughs]  You did have this wonderful song though on an album a couple of albums back.  It was like a middle-aged guy's hip-hop song, called "Why Don't You Fix My Car?"

LEO:

That's right --

GARRISON:

"Why Won't You Fix My Car?"

LEO:

"Why Can't You Fix My Car?"

  [Audience laughs]

GARRISON:

"Why Can't You Fix My Car?"  And that was the refrain.

LEO:

  Yes it was.

GARRISON:

It really touched me deeply.

[Audience laughs]

LEO:

  It was --- it's a universal experience I think.

GARRISON:

[To audience:]   Won't you welcome Mr. Leo Kottke.

[Applause]

[Leo plays "Peg Leg"]

[Applause]

LEO:

Thank you.

[Leo plays "Room at the Top of the Stairs"]

[Applause]

GARRISON:

Mr. Leo Kottke.  "The Room At the Top of the Stairs."

[Leo plays Wonderland At Night]

[Applause]

GARRISON:

Thank you Leo, Leo Kottke.
