Simon Barrett

This week the team will be looking at the important cases in the news.

Jack N. Young AKA Blackjack is 85 years old, but you would never guess it! He makes the Energizer Bunny passe!

Following his time as a Navy Frogman in WWII he headed to Hollywood to seek fame and fortune. His story is a fabulous one. You will not want to miss this adventure into the world of Hollywood that few people have ever heard about.

Singer/Songwriter Ian Franklin is about to release his new CD Breaking Grounds. I will be sitting down to talk to IAN and also playing some tracks from the CD.

The George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin frieght train continues to hurtle down the tracks with no-one making any attempt to apply the brakes. This week we have the revelation and outrage over donations made to George Zimmerman via a web site.

Join us, for what will be a lively discussion.

This week on Barling & Barrett we will be discussing the George Zimmerman bond hearing. It was a thing of awe and wonder! This bunch of prosecutors made Jeff Ashton (Casey Anthony fame) look possitively brilliant! They need new glasses, because they obviously did not see the Mack Truck headed in their direction until it was far too late

Jimmy Dillon and Lorin Rowan have been playing music for many years, and now they rejoin forces with a group of talented singers and players to form San Francisco Music Club. Their new album, titled "Love and Freedom", is a journey through the back roads of some of the great music traditions and cultures in the US, Caribbean, and Africa.

We have been studiously avoiding this case. However it has reached the stage where we have to talk about it. Don't expect a rehash of the news, we want to explore other angles. The role of the press being a prime one. There is a wonderful battle being waged between CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. Gone are the days where the News was the News. In this brave new world the News plays second fiddle to the politics involved.

We have two great guests joining us, and I am sure this is going to be a very contentious program!

Merrell Fankhauser is one of the inovatosrs of the 60's surf music genre. Who has not heard Wipeout? I will be sitting down with Merrell and talking about his long and illustrious career.

60's teen heart throb and king of bubblegum pop, Tommy Roe is back.  After a couple of decades of vacation time from the recording studio he has decided to record a CD of new songs. It is not scheduled for release until later in the year, however we will be playing some of the tracks on air. This will be the first time they have been broadcast anywhere.

This is a must listen to interview for anyone that remembers Sweet Pea, or Dizzy. Also joining him in the studio will be band member and lead guitarist Rick Levy.

Once more the team of Simon Barrett and Mannie Barling will be exploring the world of Identity Theft.
