1. You have to be very patient to hard boil eggs without cracking them. I looked this topic up on the internet, and there are about a million descriptions of how to do this. Supposedly you are should just boil em for a minute and then let them sit in the hot water for around 14 minutes. Get more info here.
2. Before you dye eggs, you can draw or write on the eggs with crayon. The dye won't stick to the message...it's pretty cool. But don't write anything you don't want your mom to see. For example, don't write JOE IS DUMB, especially if your brother's name is Joe. My best friend did this and got in a heap of trouble.
3. In a pinch, speckly malted milk eggs can be used as a colorful lip gloss.
4. Peeps are more fun to experiment with than they are to eat, as evidenced here.
5. More Easter songs are needed immediately! Easter Parade and Here Comes Peter Cottontail are fantastic songs, but get old after awhile.
6. If you are helping the Easter Bunny hide eggs, it pays to take notes. When I was a kid, I found a purple egg in a dried flower arrangement a couple of months after Easter. Funny I saw it before I smelled it.

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
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...
