Hi everyone this week we want you to meet Karl Heibron.  Karl is the front of house engineer for the Happy Together Tour.  His history is rich and varied. You will love his story and you will learn a lot about the role of the front of house engineer along the way.

THE TOOTH, THE TOUR, AND OTHER THINGS....WE ARE BACK!!  We had to extend last week's episode due to a dental emergency we are all following on our episodes with Paul being the toothman. Good to be back from our tour break and we are looking forward to the next 44 shows. Here's a short recap of what's coming and what came before.  We still can't believe we get to do this!!

Hello everyone we're on our break from the Happy Together tour this is our first show of the break hope you enjoy our visit just some ramblings and thoughts to share see you next week!!

Hi everybody.  This is our last episode of the first leg of the Happy Together Tour and we wanted to introduce you to the girls of the Happy Together Tour and learn a little about what goes on out here.  We off for 3 weeks so we will report from the tour break next.  Enjoy!

Hi everyone here's a nice short visit to catch you all up on the summer tour and what else is coming our way.  Everybody is finding their way and getting comfortable with the rhythm of the road enjoy the episode we'll start our first summer guest next week.

Hello everyone we are settling in out here on the summer Happy Together Tour....6 down with 60 to go!  Hope you enjoy our visit.  We had an interesting question at [email protected] (where you can write to the program) regarding our performance of the National Anthem at game 3 of the 2004 ACLS between the Red Sox and Yankees at Fenway Park in Boston.  Most of the time we are asked what it was like to perform the anthem in such a setting, etc., but this person simply was asking how did we get there?  How did we find ourselves standing at home plate in 2004 at Fenway Park.

Well everyone we've had some long episodes and some short ones so here's a short one kind of setting up the summer and what to expect and what's happened so far and all that good stuff.  We sat for the beginning and after 15 minutes it felt like we'd been talking an hour so we had to do a second segment. Too funny. We're on our first week of the tour and it goes until September 7th so whoa there!!! Enjoy the episode and there's more to come from the summer Happy Together tour!

Well we finally coordinated our schedules and time zones and lives to have a visit with Jason Scheff, he of the famed band Chicago for 20 years and future participant in this summer's Happy Together tour.  You'll have to listen to hear about Jason's connection with not only The Cowsills, but Ron Dante, the Association and Gary Puckett.  What a story!!

Well everyone it's a crazy busy week and we're all getting ready for the summer tour.  Speaking of which this will be our first summer out without our leader, Mark Volman, since he passed away.  In honor of his legacy and wonderfulness we wanted to highlight our visit with Mark and revisit his playfulness and incredible history. So please enjoy if not for the first time once again our incredible visit with this great man. We miss him a lot.
