Host Alex Kensington writes:
Shows like this become created as a result of an idea. The big idea of Conjurers, Carnies & Collectors was to let show folks talk about the fun and heartaches of being a Variety Arts performer which in today’s society probably makes you really different from you next door neighbor, About 2 years ago, at a performer’s pot luck dinner party, I recorded Chris McDaniel telling tales of the western arts life. His comments and observations of the terrible cost of the performer’s life stopped the party in its tracks.

On tonight’s show Western Arts performer and singer Chris McDaniel talks with me about the great fun as well as the great cost of dedicating your life to live variety arts performance — what it gives and what it takes away. After the break, he’ll speak about his experience with “America’s Got Talent” and some thoughts on what it’s done to American audiences. We met on the road while he was making a jump to his next show.
