Gene was on a natural high on Sunday morning. Everyone was over the moon over the Rascals prior night's show. The Rascals brought the house down ! It was fantastic.

At breakfast Gene was talking about his feelings about performing with the Rascals, in particular with Felix.

I put down my fork and said "Lets record that !"

A “Kennedy Center Honors” type event for Rochester?

I believe Rochester possesses something that many communities do not and that is a multi-faceted performing arts culture.

I was thrilled by the RPO’s production of their Eclipse Specacular that included many facets of the performing arts beyond the music they performed. It truly was spectacular and proved that it CAN be done.

A discussion about having a yearly event like the Kennedy Center Honors is something I’d like to start here

This would not be in place of what other organizations are doing now it, would be addition to. After all, the Eagles are in the rock ‘n’ roll full of fame and Kennedy Center honors too.

What are your thoughts?

You can see my full article in the RBJ this week.

A “Kennedy Center Honors” event for Rochester?

Rochester has a performing arts culture that is unique and wonderful. Music is an important facet but it doesn’t stop there.

After seeing the wonderful multi-dimensional RPO Eclipse Spectacular it came to me that it CAN be done. I am still in awe.

This presentation wouldn’t be something to replace what we have now but be an addition to it.

After all, the Eagles are in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame, but also recipients of “Kennedy center Honors “.

Let’s use our quality of life advantages to our advantage

Please share your thoughts.

Like that old TV show "The Newlywed Game" I interviewed Natalie independently about her Dad and then asked John what he though her answers were.

This was fun and they are GREAT sports !

My guest this my week is Caroll Crossed, nationally known and Chairman of the Board of the Susan B Anthony Birthplace Museum and advocate for Feminists for Life.

Susan B’s story is not what you think, Carroll tells the story magnificently and was also a non-violent protester in the day when “non-violent” meant lacking violence.

She is also the author of a book, “Vintage Tweets”.

Carrol is multi-dimensional and fascinating in so many ways.

Joe has followed in his father's musical footsteps and is a great talent in his own rite, both writing songs and performing. He performs to packed crowds regularly.

Singing together they have a rich melodic "blues" quality that you must hear.

And you WILL hear as they perform on my:

My guest on the show Saturday is Sara Passamonte, President and Executive Director of Compeer.

I knew very little about Compeer before I met Sara but I was astonished to learn about the size of the organization and how well they support those with mental health needs.

With over 200 volunteers helping people of virtually all ages, they provide a one-on-one connection for those who may not be able to get assistance elsewhere.

This week I host Mike Whittimore retired NewsRadioWHAM1180 radio voice.

He’s also good at doing impressions like presidents and famous local talk radio hosts. (No, not me.)

Hey, he's retired, he can say anything he wants ! (And does.)

Think of it like two guys doing some "stand up" although we will be sitting down. You can stand up if you like. (We cant tell.)
