THE VOICE OF THE PRAIRIE
by John Olive
November 18 - December 19, 2004
Before talk radio, before shock jocks, before Garrison Keillor, there was country
boy Davey Quinn. On the 1920s prairie, Davey's special storytelling grabs the
ear of an early radio hustler who puts him on the air, and a star is born. Quinn's
homespun yarns become a hit with the hearts of America, including one whose childhood
memories are mysteriously stirred to life. An epic adventure of young love and
redemption that will enchant the entire family.
