Hello everyone we have only 6 days left on our summer Happy Together Tour!!!  Wow!  No guest today but we share some great stories.  You can find out who started the bus fire on the band's tour bus and who is credited for saving everyone's lives.  We also explain why Howard Stern still doesn't like us and won't talk with us.  I guess we're in a long feud.  Also we address our "forced" night off at...

Hello everyone from Zydeco land. We're back with our first guest in a while Grammy award winning artist Terrance Simien.

Hello everybody!!  We had a great weekend in Friday Harbor, Washington and are now heading to Boston and returning to the Happy Together Tour.  We'll get back to our normally scheduled programming next week but thought it would be fun to re-highlight our visit with Steve Van Zandt.  Little Stevie has a lot going on with his new book, his history with the Soprano's, his brand new documentary, his r...

Hi everybody.  We're getting ready to head up to San Juan island off the coast of Washington for our gig at the Honeywell estate and Friday Harbor this weekend.  Here's a short visit as we wind through all of that and head back out on to the Happy Together Tour.

Hello everyone from the Happy Together Tour! Sometimes we get in a location out here where the reception is spotty and we can't get smooth reception for our podcast episode.  To fill-in until next week, we thought it would be fun to run our most successful episode ever starring Phlash Phelps, the longtime historic and iconic morning DJ on SiriusXM "60's Gold".  After 143 episodes Phlash Phelps app...

He's got a little "I'm here to claim my legacy" kind of thing going on but this bro has a LOT so say!.  So liste...

Well everybody we are back on schedule and back in the saddle.  It's been a challenge producing episodes on the road but we love it.  Today we kind of get back in to the swing of things and get you all caught up on what's happening in Cowsillland!  Hope you enjoy the episode and we will see you next week with our next new guest our brother John.  We'll get all caught up on what he's involved with...

Hey everyone as you know we're out here on the Happy Together Tour for the summer.  Sometimes we hit a snag on the road and production of our podcast gets interrupted due to road circumstances...such as this week (and last).  Rather than let the same episode run another week we thought it would be fun to focus on our very first episode and return that one to the top of the heap for enjoyment.  The...

Hi everybody!! We're doing great out here on the Happy Together Tour having great shows with great audiences.  Today we visit about life at Halidon Hall, the mansion on the hill in Newport, Rhode Island where we lived just before we moved to New York.  We were on the cusp of making it big and we have a lot of fun memories to share with you about life in Newport c. 1965-1966.

Hello everybody we've been asked to continue through our historical walk through the different places we've lived and what life was like in them. Today we cover life in Ohio circa 1958, 59, 60, 61. Susan is not on this episode as she was born in Ohio and we left when she was three so there's no memories.... if she does have any we'll talk with her about that next week.  Enjoy the episode we're out...

Well folks we are heading out for our summer tour, our 10th Happy Together Tour.  So exciting to still be going and still be at it.  We had such fun last week describing our life in Santa Monica when we arrived in late 1968 on top of the world we thought we'd continue the theme this week and next even.  Today we talk some about life on Indian Avenue in Middletown, Rhode Island in the mid-sixties w...

Hi folks this week we are visiting the family band COMPASS who hail from Canton, Ohio. They are 16 yr old Arianna and her 2 younger brothers Harrison on guitar (ahead of his time he's so good) and Johnny their 10 year old drummer (who started drumming at age 7 sound familiar anyone?) and then Constantine who will be playing keyboards when he gets a little older. Of course we felt we were interview...

Hi everyone!  Well the eclipse eclipsed our hopefully planned guest this week when the family band, COMPASS, found themselves smack dab in the middle of the "path of totality" for the solar eclipse and our episode was scheduled to tape smack dab in the middle of that eclipse so we will visit our family band next week because that would have been a big miss for the family. We can't wait to visit wi...

Hi everybody WE ARE BACK FROM OUR TWO CRUISES!!  We tried podcasting from the cruise ship but to no avail.  So we let the rehearsal episode run while we were away hope that was okay.  We had a blast and talk about that and other things.  We have lots of guests to get to in 2024 and we will be starting that next week.  For now we wanted to just catch you up on things and give you a report on the cr...

Hello everybody we're heading to Miami today heading out to sea tomorrow on the Celebrity Summit for the back to back 70's and 60's cruises! In today's episode we share one of our rehearsals.  As we're working up these new songs we thought we'd share what some of that work looks like so you're going to hear lousy mixes, singing that is not real serious yet, one-angle camera....we're just searching...

Hi everyone we're getting ready to head to Miami and perform on the 70's Rock and Romance Cruise and then immediately after that the Flower Power Cruise.

See you next week with another family band, COMPASS, as ou...
