Taking his cues from those bushy brows

Fred Newman, who does all those cool sound effects for A Prairie Home Companion, is pretty in sync with host Garrison Keillor, he tells the Hampton Roads news site. "I can anticipate what he's going to do from watching his eyebrows," Newman says.

Newman, 59, was raised near LaGrange, Ga. "His grandfather's farm, right across the street from Newman's house," the story notes, "was home to whinnying horses, boc-boc-bocking chickens and mooooing cows."
