Tuesday March 16, 2010 on the BIG SHOW – Join us for a relaxing evening with singer & songwriter, Joshua Stedman. Joshua has a smooth sound that is reminiscent of Sting, Seal and Stevie Wonder. We plan to not only interview this fine musician but also feature some of his music on the show. So to properly prepare, please keep the lighting low, fix yourself a cocktail and relax in an easy chair while we lay some soul on you on Behind The Mike. If you would like to call in and speak with Joshua or help us to compliment his fine sounds, you may do so TOLL FREE (866) 417-4359!

On the program tonight, we started out with a great author, Leonard Rosmarin and we spoke about his novel, Getting Enough. Leonard told us that the inspiration for the book is in fact his own family (Mother, father and extended) and that he has held the idea for the book in his memory for more than 25 years as he continued teaching as a university professor. Leonard was also decorated twice by the French Government for his outstanding work with French literature. The book is a great read, and it moves fast pulling the reader into the lives of the characters in an eerie and yet pleasant way. Get the book, you will not regret it. Also available on Kindle at Amazon (see link below)

Later on the show we welcome a most wonderful person, David Stone. David is a Johnny Cash Tribute Artist and he travels doing a show called “The Johnny Cash Experience”. One of the great things that we learned about David and his troupe is that they were invited to perform the 40th Anniversary concert at San Quentin Prison; an event that Johnny’s own band were not invited to play at. David talked a lot about some great music history that included the greats such as Elvis, Johnny, Roy Orbison, Wanda Jackson and Patsy Cline to mention a few. We featured a few tracks from the CD, David Stone at San Quentin, one of which was a song that David himself wrote to pay homage to the man in black, Back Again.

Be sure to listen to this packed show of great interviews.

Tonight on the show we spoke about a few items before the guest came on the air. First of all, every household in America will be receiving a letter from the US Census Bureau. The letter will state that within a week, you will be mailed the forms to fill out for the 2010 Census. So is anyone else concerned that based on the 2008 US Census estimates, we spent $133,786,278.56 on postage to send a letter that advises that they are sending a letter? Holy Stamps Batman!

Second, we discussed a little bit about this health care reform issue. Have you ever noticed that you only hear the politicians talking about the horrors of universal health care..in Canada..? Why is no one talking about the universal health care systems in Germany, Japan, France & Switzerland? They run great systems at 10-11% of their country’s GDP, insure every citizen, citizens get to see their private doctors and not wait in lines. Here in the US, the insurance is costing 17% of the GDP and millions upon millions of citizens are NOT insured. Also, even Beck and Limbaugh have not been mentioning these European success stories…hmmmm

For the main event, we welcomed former FBI Special Agent Jack Owens to the program where we spent a great show talking to him about his latest work, Don’t Shoot! We’re Republicans! A memoir of an agent of the FBI who did things his way. Jack is a lawyer by degree but needed excitement in his life so he joined the FBI. His book is a revealing look at the workings of an FBI agent in the day to day but with a twist; he shows us that his three decades in the Bureau were funny and enjoyable. Listen as jack tells some of the funniest stories that you will not see on FBI Files. Then run right out and get his book.
