Twenty-five years ago, I had the great honor of talking with the late Keith Knudsen, drummer for the Doobie Brothers.  Since they are on tour again, I thought it would be great to post an interview for their 30th anniversary CD called Sibling Rivalry. So if you're going to see them, be sure to check out this slice of history from my original national Someone You Should Know radio show.

This time, we Flashback to the summer of 2002. I was lucky enough to catch up with Walt Parazaider, one of the founding members of the rock band Chicago. Walt was onboard to talk about Chicago's 35th Anniversary Tour and discuss a special post 9/11 concert they did in Washington, D.C. BTW, Walt plays  a wide variety of wind instruments, including saxophone, flute, and clarinet. Kick back and enjoy this classic interview from Season 3 of my original "Someone You Should Know program.

I look back with fondness to interviews like this, especially when the artist is no longer with us.  In 2001, I had the great honor of talking to the late Dan Fogelberg.  My late wife and I were avid fans of Dan's music and had the privilege of seeing Dan live in concert.  In this interview, Dan talks about hitting the road for the summer concert season and about his music.  Sidebar - Dan's song from 1978, "The Power of Gold" with Tim Weisberg, was the very first song I played in my AFRTS radio career.

Flashback - Edwin McCain - Far From Over - 2001

This week, we Flashback to 2001, and a musician whose music I've enjoyed for decades.  He's Edwin McCain, and I was lucky to catch up with him after a concert in St. Louis.  We chat about his current release (at the time), "Far From Over," working with Shaun Colvin, his band, being adopted, and, of course, showcasing his music.  Enjoy this classic from season 2 of the original national "Someone You Should Know program."

In this Flashback episode, we go back to 2000 for my interview with Richard Marx.  Richard had just released Days in Avalon. Richard and I discuss the new album and play several samples. We talk about other musicians he's produced and share a few laughs.  This is another episode from the original national run of "Someone You Should Know."

This week, we Flashback 25 years, to 2000 and the release of what I consider to be one of my all-time favorite albums. It's one you probably never heard of.  The artist is Robynn Ragland, at the time a musician playing the Midwest concert circuit. I happened upon her song "The People You Know" on WVRV 101.1 FM "The River,"  and said she'd be ideal as a guest on my brand new national show, "Someone You Should Know." So sit back and enjoy this one from the way-back machine, and one of the very first episodes of the original "Someone You Should Know."

Honeymoon Suite - The Return to Melodic Rock and Roll

Happy Independence Day Week

This Friday, our nation marks its 249th birthday—a moment to reflect, remember, and give thanks. The 4th of July is more than fireworks, parades, cookouts, and an extra day off. It's a time to honor the courage of those who dreamed of freedom and built a nation on the ideals of liberty, equality, and self-determination.

It’s a chance to pause and appreciate the sacrifices made, the freedoms we enjoy, and the ongoing journey toward a more perfect union. Amid the celebration, may we carry with us the true spirit of Independence Day—gratitude, unity, and hope for all Americans.

To commemorate our Independence Day, staff poet Tammy Spears joins us one more time to share some beautiful Independence Day poetry.
