Whad'ya Know Show

Beautiful weather, nice easy drive to Oxford, saw some old friends, and then 2 hours of hilarity. Michael Feldman and crew did not disappoint us. His ability to keep a smooth pace and never drop the ball is amazing. The music from the trio was also good. They are very polished and the banter was non stop. There were several props on stage with a very nice Ole MIss display in the background. When he opened the show with an "is everyone doing okay?' the response was Hotty Toddy from the entire audience. He seemed amused and this set the tone for the show.

Mr. Feldman is a learned man. It was fun to watch the few that tried to be clever (heck, they were being smartasses) with blank looks on their faces as he responded. Michael asked a member of the Taylor Grocery Band his name, etc. and the fellow responded,"Brian, you want my social security number?" Feldman immediately quipped ,"Yes, and I'll have that Visa card too."

Before the show people passed out cards so questions for Michael could be read during the program. One lady asked if he wanted to meet a 70 year old local ex-hooker. Not being able to pass this up he put the spotlight on her in the audience and promptly inquired. She was very articulate with a heavy southern accent and announced that it was her birthday. Then she proceeded to explain that Hooker was her maiden name. Before this was over there was a room filled with LOLs and maybe even some ROFLs.

The show was broadcast live and nationwide. There is a list of affiliate stations on his site. After trying to listen and download from the Wisconsin PBR site I gave up when they wanted my life history and firstborn. If I find a good link it'll be posted. It was a good day. David and I laughed all the way back to the beach house. Thanks for the invitation Brother Dave. This was a hoot!
