Toby Keith has one of those amazing voices that sounds great even when he's just speaking, not singing. We used to say, we could listen to him just read the phone book out loud. Well, there's basically no use for phone books anymore, so thank goodness Toby's become a superstar country singer, actor and record producer. We talked to him via phone while he was traveling in his amazing tour bus on the way to a gig. Here's the former oil rig...

Visiting our studio to promote his upcoming stand up comedy show at Laughs Unlimted, Jimmy J.J. Walker made famous on the TV comedy - "Good Times" amazed us with his intellect and insights about comedy today and show biz as a whole. He raves about the clean act and genius of one of his favorite comdeians who at the time we spoke was America's favorite, but now as you listen to Jimmy mention him, 'cause Bill Cosby's name now paints a completely different emotion in our minds.

In sacramento to promote the new Gatlin Brothers Music Gity Grille in the downtown area, Rudy was able to spend almost a half hour with us in person in our studio at KRAK 1140 AM. Since we were still playing Country Gold, and all the legendary artists, Rudy was thrilled to visit a station that featured he and his brothers songs. Mike Remy, my newsman was a big Gatlin Brothers fan and shared in the interview with Rudy. We talked about the industry changing focus with many stations...

For such a successful performer with so many skeletons in his closet, you would think Tom Arnold would be very selective about what he wants to talk about with a DJ on the radio, but that's the farthest thing from the truth. As a writer, actor and comedian who's appeared in countless TV and movies including 1994's "True Lies" with Arnold Swartzenegger, and most currently as a running character in Sons of Anarchy, Tom hides nothing and openly jokes about what most of us would cringe to m...

He was coming to perform in Nevada City for an annual Christmas program that made him available for my show and I was more than delighted. It was American singer-songwriter Michael Martin Murphy who recorded great hit singles like "Wildfire", "Carolina in the Pines" "What's Forever For" "A Long LIne of Love" and so many others. But it's Michaels love for the old west that truly sets him apart from other country artists. Just ask him to remember the history of our cou...

Who can forget the fun dance movie starring Kevin Bacon - called "Foot Loose". It was made in 1984 and the title song written and produced for it by Kenny Loggins is still being performed by the singer/songwriter to this day. In 2016, I got to talk to Kenny while I was doing mornings on K-Hits radio in Sacramento. Kenny had just had his children's book - called amazingly enough - "Foot Loose" published and he wanted folks to know about it. In this episode, we visit wit...

Here's an episode that validates why I love interviewing celebrities so much on the radio. Where else would I get the opportunity and honor of talking to a real life American hero. Only 12 humans through the history of mankind, have actually walked on the moon. Only 12!!, and I got to talk to one of them. Apollo 16's Charlie Duke. It was the next to last lunar mission in 1972, and I'm sure you've seen pictures of Charlie riding along the lunar surface on the ama...

If you saw the movie "Rudy" than you know all about our guest "Rudy Ruettiger" who did what some feel was the impossible. Standing only 5'6" and weighing a mere 165 lbs. Rudy talked himself onto the Notre Dame football team. Although he was placed on the scout team, a squad that helps the varsity team practice for games, Rudy was never meant to actual play in a Notre Dame football game. However on Nov. 8, 1975, on the last game of Rudy's senior season, with only one play l...

Space shuttle Endeavour ended its flight career Sept. 21 as it toured California on the back of NASA's modified 747 carrier aircraft, landing at Los Angeles International Airport after its final ferry flight into history.The four-hour, 34-minute flight began at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base Friday morning, and over the ensuing hours the piggyback pair made low-level flybys over scores of California cities and landmarks, many of which had direct ties to NASA's ...

It was a delight to have country singer Randy Travis visit with us in studio at KRAK AM/FM while he was still healthy and a vibrant star in the country music industry. He was with his then wife/manager who was recovering from a broken leg and resting in our lounge while we visited with Randy. Later, he would suffer a terrible stroke that would incapacitate him for years and rob him of his singing voice. However, in this interview, Randy as you'll hear, was sitting on top o...
