And, for what it's worth, I am an expatriate Minnesotan. I think PHC is every bit as good as it ever was. His voice and singing technique, while not star quality in themselves, are acceptable for the role they play in the show.

The one adverse comment about GK I've seen in this thread that I'd agree with is, unfortunately the man can't read poetry. A small failing, IM(not-so)HO.

And yes, as a (now transplanted) Minnesotan, I've seen his show live, and would love to do so again.
