Piece Description

Sketch/pitch from radio variety show "Live Wire!" created for Oregon Public Broadcasting (never used - probably due to length). Angus McBeef, president of the Fiona Richie fan club, gives listeners the what-for due to their inability to see poor Fiona's need for their pledge dollars. "Tattybogglers!!"

Broadcast History

Created for Oregon Public Broadcasting but not used. Would be happy to re-record at a shorter length if you'd be interested in airing Angus!
