Famed radio personality Garrison Keillor bringing the packed house at Gustavus to its feet Thursday night...to sing.

The night's talk titled "Life Among the Lutherans" is part of the Augustana Heritage Association's gathering at the college.

At 69 years young Keillor told the crowd why he wants to die right here in his home state and not Florida.

"I've decided I want to die in Minnesota. It is because as you are dying people would come and sing beautiful songs to you, and they would all know the same songs. Not that this is anything I have to think about right away," Keillor said.

Keillor is best known for his work on the radio variety show "A Prairie Home Companion."
