The Cowsills Podcast

We want to thank you for your patience as you know our friend Paul Shaffer was our guest last week so we held off on our end of summer tour final episode from the road until this week. WELL HERE IT IS!!! We have lots of pictures and video segments and images from the summer. Enjoy the memories from the Happy Together 2023 summer tour!

Well everyone, we had to hold off a week for our final summer tour episode because we heard from our good friend, Paul Shaffer, about an upcoming charity event he and Jeff Barry are having for Paul's daughter Victoria and her Pup Culture Rescue, a dog/puppy rescue service out of Los Angeles. We talk of that event coming up Wednesday, September 13th at the Write-off Room at 11502 Ventura Blvd in Studio City, CA called Doo Wah Ditties for Doggies. Jeff Barry will also guest with Paul. Jeff Barry wrote or co-wrote "Chapel of Love", "Leader of the Pack", "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", "Hanky Panky", "Sugar, Sugar", "I Honestly Love You", "Da Doo Ron Ron", and "Be My Baby" to name a few so enough said there". Enjoy this awesome episode and learn some surprising factoids about Mr. Paul Shaffer himself!

Well everybody sometimes it takes two and this time it did we had an iPad collapse on us out here and we had to do a second version of this episode from the bus so it took a little longer and it looks a little grainy but here it is. We're just having some fun sharing some wrap-up thoughts to the tour making a little sausage on the bus and then next week will be the last episode from the road and we'll pick up guest stars and all the rest in the autumn thanks everybody enjoy!

Hello everybody we are out here and still hanging through. We hope you enjoy these small videos and pictures that we're sending to you from the road. This episode will include a pictorial of about 20 of the venues we've been playing to give you an idea of what kind of venues we're performing in on this tour and some other fun little shots and short clips we hope you enjoy. See you next week everybody!

We're out here doing live podcast episodes on the Happy Together Tour for the rest of the summer. These current episodes have a lot of visuals in them so you audio listeners all you have to do is go to cowsill.com hit, the logo to get into the website, and right there on the front page you will see the words "our podcast" and that will always take you to the most recent audio and visual episode. We know sometimes the quality is lacking but it's still a lot of fun. Thanks everyone...enjoy!

Hello everybody sorry we are late this week we've been on the road as you know and all of the episodes that we did before we left town of been used and we are live, and will be live, every week from the Happy Together Tour. We have this little short episode to give you all a little tour of things hope you enjoy the short visit and will see you again every week now from the tour!

Hello everybody it's us live not taped ahead of time. We are just finishing up our 2nd break on the Happy Together Tour. We thought we'd take everyone through the typical day out there on the tour and let you know what it's like on the bus and at the venues and how it all goes down out there. Hope you enjoy some of the insights and we'll have some terrific guests heading in to August and the autumn. Thanks everybody see you on the road!

Carl Giammarese, one of the founding and still current members of The Buckinghams, sat down and visited with us. We've toured many summers with the Buckinghams and have gotten to know Carl very well. Even so it's such a pleasure to visit and hear things we still didn't know about and delve a little deeper. The Buckinghams rocked the '60's and beyond with a sound that ultimately would help blaze the path and open the doors for their fellow Chicago musicians trying to make it big, the group "Chicago". Hits like "Kind of a Drag", "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", "Don't You Care?" and of course "Susan" cemented The Buckinghams as one of the top groups producing hits in the '60's. Enjoy the episode.

Ian Anderson is a genius. He really is. What a story what a visit we have to say. Ian brought a new dimension to "frontman" with the arrival of Jethro Tull. He played the flute like a lead guitarist plays a guitar and developed a stage character that could be theatric, entertaining and somewhat even intimidating at times (or as Ian put it, "...the girls really never approached me"). He is a man beyond his flute and his gifts to this planet are beyond his music. We would even suggest going through some of the research like we did before listening. We didn't even know where to begin. A fine British fellow!

Kara McKee is a singer/songwriter who had an amazing adventure on "The Voice" when she was chosen by John Legend to be on Team Legend. Her experience was something and we got an insight into the scene behind "The Voice" and how the whole thing works. Kara is the daughter of the governor of Rhode Island, Dan McKee, and a brilliant financial talent also. She opened for us when we recently performed in Westerly, Rhode Island and sang her beautiful songs and had a great performance. Please enjoy getting to know Kara McKee.
