Michael Tilson Thomas was featured on Saturday's Praire Home Companion, when Garrison Keillor's show was broadcast from the War Memorial Opera House.
MTT sang Thomashefsky-era pop songs, reminisced about his Yiddish-theater great grandparents, and played the Schumann Arabeske in C Major, Op. 18.
Listen to his delightful uptempo renditions of "Tutankhamun," accompanied by the Shoe Band, and "Who Do You Suppose Went and Married My Sister? Thomashefsky!"
Keillor's program-opening tribute to San Francisco to the tune of "O mio babbino caro" was hilarious.
