I’ve had many conversations with Jason Gray over the years, and even in within this one, I learned even more about him as a person, a father, a singer/songwriter, and friend. A crazy childhood, Paul Simon, a Duran Duran term paper, a possible abduction, divorce, falling in love again, surrendering to God, and a one-of-a-kind Paul McCartney cover song you won’t hear anywhere else.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ken Mansfield – January 30th, 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the last time the Beatles would ever play together in a ‘live’ setting. It was on a rooftop of their record label, 40+ minutes, and audio that would eventually be used for the album, “Let It Be”. There were only a few ‘employees’ on the roof that day, and if you google photos, you’ll see a man with a white coat. Ken Mansfield worked for Apple Records and was there that day.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In September of 2014, I was at a conference that Plumb performed at. She knocked me over, I already knew she could sing, but her story is what struck me as powerful. Fast forward to a radio tour in May of 2015, and I had the privilege of interviewing her on our morning show. The other female voice you will hear is my co-host, Melanie. So into the archives we go Tiffany Lee, a.k.a. Plumb.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kevin Matthews is the reason why I’m doing what I’m (still) doing in radio broadcasting. His time at WLUP in Chicago is legendary to “Kev-Heads” around the Midwest and beyond. It wasn’t just Kevin either - it was also sports announcer “Jim Shorts”, Darnell, Devon, Ronald Reagan, Elvis, Pee Wee Herman, and a cast of others, all flowing out of the mouth and brain of Kevin. Kevin has written a book called “Broken Mary” that has given him a much different perspective on life. Pardon me while I geek out talking to my hero, Kevin Matthews.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
