Hi everyone! Well the eclipse eclipsed our hopefully planned guest this week when the family band, COMPASS, found themselves smack dab in the middle of the "path of totality" for the solar eclipse and our episode was scheduled to tape smack dab in the middle of that eclipse so we will visit our family band next week because that would have been a big miss for the family. We can't wait to visit with them and see what's up. In the m...

We missed Susan last week so we get caught up with her and finally learn what 'I'm doing Mardis Gras' means in detail....just family stuff and some sibling bantering. Stay tuned for new guests in this new year starting next week. Hey maybe we can get our brother John on again and find out what REALLY happened with the Beach Boys!! There's always more to the story.

We had a great visit today with Jay Reinke who happens to be Jay #3 of "Jay and the Americans". What a great story as to how that came to be. So different and amazing. We hope your 2024 has blasted off in a positive direction! Filling the shoes as the voice of Jay and the Americans is not something any singer can do....only a special singer like Jay Reink! Wait'll you hear how he got there.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the podcast. We actually have our very first return guest, Bruce Belland of the Four Preps, and we catch up with Bruce in this episode amongst other things. Bruce kind of popped in early on us so we weren't able to set up his arrival properly but that's what's fun about the podcast...the looseness and flexibility we have. So enjoy the episode see you next week with another special guest!!
