The Ken Calvert Show

During this most unusual time we need to think of smart new ways to stay germ free. I share my thoughts on what I predict will be our new world order (at least for me). I also catch up with Jason Bonham, son of the great Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.

Yes, yes and yes! Check out this nugget from the 80's. We'll talk about 'Morning Radio' then-and-now, Hallmark events in my life like this COVID-19. I hope you'll enjoy, stay safe and know we're gonna get thru this! Peace & Love.

It's hard to write a compelling tease for a podcast. So, simply put I've been away from the show and I'm back. I hate the time-change, winter and especially the plastic clamshell. I'll also share a 1998 interview with the late Ray Manzarek of The Doors.

I caught up with Detroit native and Specs Howard grad, Derek Richards, to talk about the fast-paced, raucous ride across America with four Irish comedians starring in The Irish Comedy Tour. It's St. Patrick's Day every day!

On June 9th we celebrate the great Les Paul's birthday. Les Paul is one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed. On that same Mount Rushmore of Great Guys is Bob Seger. They don't get any nicer. This week there were two events, and I have two stories.

That's right, it happened back in 2011. She wrote a song about me called "Secret Love." It was the first single from the 2011 solo release called "In Your Dreams." Look, it's complicated, but I'm telling you it happened. Stevie shares the sad details.

Burton Cummings starts by saying "It's an attitude of gratitude." On this podcast we hear the story behind 'American Woman', Guess Who's only number one. Burton Cummings tell us that there wouldn't be a Guess Who without Rosalie Trombley and CKLW.

"Just get an electric guitar then take some time and learn how to play." So said the Byrds in 1966. I'll take a look at the state of the music industry. Most musicians aren't making any money. Are the record companies? And, my chat with Robert Cray.

"Hello, how are you?" I tried counting the number of songs written and recorded about the phone. Well, I can tell you that there's an entire website devoted to telephone songs. I stopped at 100! A radio station couldn't survive without a phone. Here's why.

Saturday April 13, 2019 was 'Record Store Day.' I love my vinyl. I love and hug my collection of long playing 33 1/3 records every chance I get. Paul Rodgers sold a ton of records. He's an amazing artist and a great interview. Whew, I'm all right now!
