Episode Notes

 
 
 
Every once in a while you get handed a “gift ”
My gift this Summer was a series of concerts being presented by the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition)
With the help of their media office, I was able to interview
Colin James
Ruth Pointer – The Pointer Sisters
Tom Cochrane
Robert Lamm – Chicago
Huey Lewis
And so…I’ve been editing like mad to make all five interviews and their music fit into two hours of The Stew.
