Investigate the American turkey’s surprising presence in European art. Learn more about the bird through turkey calling techniques. This noisy show at the UC San Diego Library has become a community tradition. Kids are welcome (and they’ll be reciting turkey-related riddles). Presented as an old-time radio show, this celebration is filled with music, sound-effects, stories and facts of interest. Host and bandleader Scott Paulson, a UC San Diego alumnus, and Exhibits & Events Coordinator at the UC San Diego Library, has been lauded by the San Diego Union-Tribune for his entertaining shows: “an avant-garde vaudevillian, think Samuel Beckett meets John Cage.” The Los Angeles Times relayed “Paulson’s brand of G-rated fun, a sort of modern day morphing of Captain Kangaroo and Spike Jones, is always lively and at times wonderfully chaotic.” Event Details: ‣ Wednesday, November 23 ‣ Noon – 1:00pm ‣ Seuss Room, Geisel Library, UC San Diego ‣ All ages. Free. For more information about the event, please call (858) 822-5758 or spaulson@ucsd.edu
