Remember when Bill Clinton appeared on Arseneo Hall's late night talk show? At the time, some critics thought it was undignified for a man who was trying to become President of the United States to go on a common talk show.
Wow! Times have sure changed. Last night Barack Obama was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. We've never had a sitting President sit in on a talk show.
I thought Barack was great and what was most impressive was his ability to appear like a regular guy. He told a few funny stories about his kids riding on Marine One and about getting the family dog.
Many people have said our last President was quite charming in person. However, it always seemed like he was guarded and wasn't sure what to say next.
The only mistake Obama made was when he was joking about his poor bowling skills and said he should be in the Special Olympics. He apologized before the interview even aired.
How important is it for a President to be good on a late night talk show? Not very, but I did enjoy the fact that Obama seemed like a real person and not a politician who seemed out of touch with all of us.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
