The Amateur Hour DVD
(See Post for August 10)
It came! It’s here! I saw it! It’s great! It’s the whole show, commercials and all! Whatta rip! Me at 15! ( Yes, I was once fifteen!) The quality is excellent. What a treasure, to see my dad at 48, and unbeknownst to me, scared to death! I was having the time of my life and it shows! What a big grin I had during our whole performance! It’s funny how my memory of the performance is different than the DVD shows. I thought I was on stage right; I was on stage left. I could not have identified my girlfriend for the day, Carol Barber of Columbia, Missouri, from a photograph, and she didn’t look like I remembered her. I had never really seen the other acts on the show in performance because we were in the green room before and after our performance, coming out only for the final bow. Our competition was all really good! I never heard of any of them again, so I guess none of them found fame and fortune, but I didn’t either! Anyhow, only my wife has seen it. I am still waiting to show it to my kids! Thanks a bunch, Mr. Fisher!

It’s great that you were able to get your hands on this video. What a great opportunity. Funny how our memories modify things, and strange to be presented with the “reality”. I hope your kids find it intriguing too
Take care

Hi John,
So pleased that you finally got the dvd of the Family Hour. I wish I could see it… I’d love to see you as a kid being the same dear hearted ham that you will always be.
Christmas is over so I am about to get my life back… thanks for the Starbucks!!!! You are a lifesaver~~!!!!
