Michael Gelbart began his career in comedy performing in comedy clubs where he was too young to buy a drink. Now he's expanding his comedy into another direction, he's written a book called "The Other Oprahs" about 4 women with the same name.

I recently interviewed Rachel Fine, a Singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, NY who has a lot to celebrate about 2010. Not only did she sign a record deal with Sunset Records, she recently launched the world-wide release her debut CD, Own Your Own. Of course Rachel provides the lovely neo soul vocals for the CD, but she also wrote all the lyrics including the title track. Iâve often read that people whose names begin with the letter R share the passion that resonates from the red-blooded and romantic opening letter of their name. Rachel definitely fits in this category, imbuing passion into every step of her musical career.
