    Fowl Players Radio welcomes Jay David  back discuss his book "Don't Blame the Music- The Untold Story of Dr. Hook" which covers his life and career from the time he was a boy performing in drum and bugle corps through his US Navy service through his time performing in New York City nightclubs to his career with Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. There are lots and lots of great rock and roll stories; many funny, but some are a real reality check as to how sinister the music business can be if you aren't careful. I highly recommend this book- it is available on Amazon.com.

    NOW AVAILABLE ON FOWL PLAYERS RADIO- www.fowlplayersradio.com and on YouTube @fowlplayersradio!

    Greetings and welcome to Season 10 of Fowl Players Radio! I would like to thank all of you for your support for the past 9 seasons, and we hope to keep improving and bringing you more and more great episodes!!

    Tonight's guest is Mary Jo Pehl, best known for her portrayal of Pearl Forrester, mother of evil Dr. Forrester of Mystery Science Theater 3000! She was also a writer on MST3K and has also appeared in Cinematic Titanic and Riff Trax. We also discussed her two books, "Employee of the Month and Other Big Deals" and "Dumb Dumb Dumb- My Mother's Book Reviews". I read them both this past summer and they are great reads! Very funny stories in both of them! Also- we had a discussion about stand up comedy- is it the most difficult type of performing? (Or is it sword swallowing?) Come hear how a shy young lady got into comedy and ended up on the writing staff and in the cast of one of the most popular cult television shows of all time!
