I have the greatest  respect and admiration for Chris Thile as a musician but I think him  trying to host a show to the same level that Garrison Keillor has achieved would be imposible for anyone. A Prairie Home Companion was a show I loved when Garrison was doing it , once Chris took over it didn't work the same for me. I haven't seen the film  of the show but it is now on my list of films to watch eventually.

TIg I can' t quiet get my head around the F word for some daft reason to me it didn't seem you. This is not critisism of that but yeah its is a song I can imagine been worthy of a good cover. Your prolific gift for songwriting always amazes me.

CG I guess going to dentist in George Washingtons days was a bit of a risky venture .  I have read Paul Revere best known for his midnight ride to alert the colonial militia in April 1775 to the approach of British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, dabbled in dentistry. He was a Silversmith but when times were hard to help make ends meet he  took up dentistry, a skill set he was taught by a practicing surgeon who lodged at a friend's house. How much training Paul got I wonder. Imagine doing that, thinking times are tough I  will get a friend to teach me  dentistry and I will have a go at  fixing some teeth for those who can afford my services. Paul  Revere's friend and compatriot Joseph Warren was killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. Because soldiers killed in battle were often buried in mass graves without ceremony, Warren's grave was unmarked. On March 21, 1776, several days after the British army left Boston, Revere, Warren's brothers, and a few friends went to the battlefield and found a grave containing two bodies. After being buried for nine months, Warren's face was unrecognizable, but Revere was able to identify Warren's body because he had placed a false tooth in Warren's mouth, and recognized the wire he had used for fastening it. Warren was given a proper funeral and reburied in a marked grave

Cheer TF first time I have seen a  Jim Unger Herman comic strip I enjoyed that it reminded me of Gary Larson The  Far Side Cartoons.

Hello Mojo the thing that  interests me about paying for a dentist here in New Zealand is health insurance and  dentist cover are two seperate things,  I always think of my teeth as part of my health not a seperate thing.
TIG and Phill this is what I have just found out about George Washington and his teeth after reading your comments.
George Washington (1732–1799) suffered from problems with his teeth throughout his life, and historians have tracked his experiences in great detail.  He lost his first adult tooth when he was twenty-two and had only one left by the time he became president. John Adams says he lost them because he used them to crack Brazil nuts but modern historians suggest the mercury oxide, which he was given to treat illnesses such as smallpox and malaria, probably contributed to the loss. He had several sets of false teeth made, four of them by a dentist named John Greenwood. None of the sets, contrary to popular belief, was made from wood or contained any wood. The set made when he became president was carved from hippopotamus and elephant ivory, held together with gold springs. Prior to these, he had a set made with real human teeth, likely ones he purchased from "several unnamed Negroes, presumably Mount Vernon slaves" in 1784. Washington's dental problems left him in constant pain, for which he took laudanum.
