Sad news today: Tom Keith, longtime sound-effects wizard on A Prairie Home Companion, passed away suddenly on Sunday.

A little of his work can be heard on this clip from a 1992 Halloween show, which seems an apt excerpt for today. He’ll be greatly missed, on the show and off.
A Prairie Home Companion has posted a lovely tribute to Tom Keith, written by Garrison Keillor. There are also photos, video and audio of Tom’s work. http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/features/special/tom-keith/
