Kenny Rogers was a Pop/Country icon whose career spanned generations. And Hanna-Barbera gave us ”Touché Turtle and Dum Dum.” So, of course, I combined them.

Ken Ray Wilemon joins me to play some Elvis hits. Plus some Major Bill Smith stuff.

Ron Wood was the Rolling Stone's second official Brian Jones replacement. Everyone loves Ronnie Wood. Donn Marier. Who the hell is Donn Marier? Just a minor player I latched onto for a week.

What I saw on the street coming in to do my show made me verbose. Then I played some obscure original versions of some big hits.
