Whither Talent?

(image from here)

The image above is from an article entitled "So Why Not Have A Talent Show?" It amused me that if the theme for Self Help Radio were talent, it would in fact be a "talent show." But goofy idears for naming my shows is not why I pick a theme. I picked this theme because of this CD:

It's a recording of an actual talent show at a nursing home featuring the residents & what sounds like their grandchildren, recorded in I think 1979. I bought it many years ago & happened to listen to it again late last year. It made me want to play songs about talent. I will play some of the interstitial dialogue from the CD above during tonight's show - not the actual performances except maybe one - but I do wish I had recorded my senior year talent show. I was up in a room running the spotlights. I was one of the untalented ones.

Talent on display tho tonight! From midnight to 2am on 90.7fm in Portland & online at kboo dot fm. No talent required - you know, like at most talent shows.
