Just a few minutes ago on Prairie Home Companion there was a Mother - Daughter duo singing the
Alaska Wildlife Department's little handout on what to do if you confront a bear in the wild. It
was sung to the tune of "If I Were A Rich Man". They claimed it was verbatim out of the pamphlet.

SWMBO and I both damn near choked and I snorted snot on the keyboard (which is why it has taken me a
while to resume typing and post this). Wonderful song. Catch the rebroadcast if you can tomorrow.
It was late in the first half, or early in the second.

"If you meet a brown bear..dudda, dudda, dudda dum....."

I am an avid listener to Keillor and caught the song. Absolutely wonderful.
