This week on Talktails, Kelly welcomes the talented singer, dancer, and star of Vegas! The Show, Tara Palsha. They discuss the love/hate relationship she had with dance lessons, the Vegas shows she has performed in (as well as a part-time job that required some costume enhancements), and the daily regiment that keeps Tara prepared for her rigorous work week. The show closes with a song from Tara.

How well does Kelly know this week’s guest? Let’s just say she’s seen him naked.

On this week’s Talktails, Kelly welcomes the consummate professional, the man of her dreams, her husband, Clint Holmes. Together they recall his story from humble beginnings, to meeting his idols, and seeing the world. Kelly reveals what Clint’s passions are off the stage (other than Kelly), and Clint brings it home by singing about his eternal love for his beautiful wife.

Kelly discovers why soul man Earl Turner wears his sunglasses at night on this episode of Talktails. Together they recall his early years performing in a Country and Western band, how important image and persona is today, and close with a soulful rendition of “Grandma’s Hands” (With a little help from the Talktails Orchestra.)

Did Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber write a song with your voice in mind? If your Reva Rice, who stars in Vegas the Show at Planet Hollywood, he did! (On a side note, jazz hands are never not fun. Just saying.) Show notes:

Kelly welcomes the musical and talented Deniece Williams to the stage in this edition of Talktails. Deniece recounts her move to Las Vegas, how friendly the people are, and how you can’t buy a lottery ticket but you can play slot machines at the grocery store. Deniece also shares what it was like making her first record, working with Stevie Wonder, and singing with Johnny Mathis (which got her excited about her upcoming performance at the Smith Center with Clint Holmes). We close the show with Deniece’s impromptu performance of Let’s Hear It For The Boy, her biggest hit.

Talktails bursts into song this week, as Kelly welcomes Jersey Boys musical director Keith Thompson to the stage. Keith recounts his musical career and reveals what brought him to Las Vegas in the first place. Keith also details his latest projects, from God Lives In Glass to his performances at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. We close the show with Keith’s tribute to Chardonnay. Show Notes:

Kelly welcomes entertainment all-star Bill Fayne to Talktails. Bill steps back into the spotlight with his upcoming show, Rogers and Hart and Hammerstein Too.

Taylor shares his riveting story of barely escaping Katrina and landing in Las Vegas just hours before his American Idol audition. He also brings news of his upcoming country album and the details of his ongoing show at Bally’s Las Vegas. (psst. . .I smell peanut butter and so does Taylor.)
