When I popped the old Prairie Home Companion tape in the car cassette player this morning, I remembered why I've saved it since May with a "Do Not Tape Over" label: Sahara Smith, 15-year-old folksinging phenom.
The two songs she sang for their "Talent from 12 to 20" show happened to end up back-to-back on the same swath of tape, so I just played them over and over until I got to work. Perfect for a rainy morning.
