"TALK SHOW II" - the sequel!

TALK SHOW II

Interviewer:     So, Maestro, what have you been up to since we last met?
Maestro:         Thanks Bob, it’s great to be back.  We’re working on something really exciting at the symphony right now.
Interviewer:     What’s that, Maestro?
Maestro:         Well, we’re trying to connect with the next generation, a whole new demographic, you know.  Get them to go to our concerts.
Interviewer:     And you have a new idea?
Maestro:         Sports.  And music.
Interviewer:     So how does that work?
Maestro:         Three words, Bob, just three words.  LeBron James.
Interviewer:     I’m afraid I don’t get it, Maestro. 
Maestro:         LeBron James!
Interviewer:     But what would he do with your orchestra?

Maestro:         Does it really matter, Bob?
