Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN'S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday November 20th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry dribbles his way into the Radio Happy Hour.

Barry, named to the exclusive list of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, is as outspoken and controversial as he is a talented basketball player. We'll talk hoops and underhanded free throws with this sports legend.


Also, Alex Boylan, winner of CBS's The Amazing Race II, will call in from somewhere in South America to discuss his latest adventure. Evidently, winning a race around the world was not challenging enough for him, now Alex is attempting to make it around the world for free!

Alex left New York from CBS’s “The Early Show” on September 18 in an attempt to travel the world with no credit cards or cash, bringing along lone cameraman Zsolt Luka to document the unprecedented journey for the unique travel/reality web series “Around The World For Free.” Alex is relying on the web community at www.aroundtheworldforfree.com to set his itinerary and guide him around the world for free.

All that plus, Jane returns as co-host, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE CYBERWAVES Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, your calls at 646-652-4804, and one lucky caller will play a rousing game of "NAME OR DRUG" for a chance to win fabulous prizes.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge--a live chat room during show time--is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!



Sorry about that folks...see what happens when we leave the computer for an hour?

Another song we caught on our ride home the other night that brought back memories was by Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina.

In 1971 Jim Messina, formerly of POCO and BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD was working as a producer for Columbia Records. He met a studio musician who had written some songs. His name was Kenny Loggins.

It was decided Messina would produce Loggins' first album, but by the time they were finished Messina had appeared on so many songs, as a composer, singer and instumentalist that the album was entitled Kenny Loggins With Jim Messina - Sittin' In...it became known simply as Sittin' In...

Between 1971 and 1977 the duo released 9 albums; two were live recordings and the last a compilation album. The both went on to successful solo recording careers.

They were the leaders in the soft rock genre which was smacked with the name 'yacht rock' by some.

"Danny's Song", was written by Kenny Loggins and reached #82 on the Pop Singles chart in 1972. In 1973 Anne Murray released her version of the song which reached # 7 on the Pop Singles chart, #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #10 on the Country chart.



"House At Pooh Corner", also on the same album, can certainly be called a 'novelty song', but the song composed by Kenny Loggins has one of those hooks that stays in your head...

Sittin' In credits:
* Kenny Loggins (vocals, guitar, harmonica)
* Jim Messina (vocals, bass guitar)

Additional personnel:
* Lester (Al) Garth (violin, recorder, saxophone, steel drum, background vocals)
* Michael Omartian (concertina, keyboards, steel drum)
* Jon Clarke (horn, oboe, saxophone, steel drum)
* Larry Sims (bass instrument, background vocals)
* Merel Bregante (drums, background vocals)
* Milt Holland (percussion).


"A Love Song" is from the duos third album, Full Sail and was written by Kenny Loggins and D.L. George and released in 1973. This is the song we heard the other night...

Full Sail credits:
* Kenny Loggins (vocals, guitar, harmonica)
* Jim Messina (vocals, bass, guitar, mandolin)

Additional personnel:
* Jon Clarke (Horn, Oboe, Sax (Baritone), Sax (Bass), Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor))
* Al Garth (Violin, Clarinet (Bass), Horn, Horn (English), Oboe, Recorder, Sax (Alto, Tenor)
* Michael Omartian (keyboards)

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE BIG CELEBRATION!!!How To Get Your Peace Globe November 2007



Well, we planned absolutely nothing for today because we had planned on uploading the 2 videos that compromise "SICILIAN GRAVY & LASAGNA ala BOND" But youtube is NOT cooperating...telling us we are uploading a bad file format, yet we are uploading a .mov file...

Well it is way too late to figure it out now, so we will have to work on it some tomorrow. As we are sitting here, we think we may have to break it into 3 parts...it runs 23 minutes in total..half for the gravy, 1/2 for the lasagna...

OK MAYBE WE OVERDID IT - BUT HELL...IT IS US - YOU SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED!



Thanks for all the encouraging words on the partial story we posted yesterday...we really think a week at the beach will open up the brain cramps...now to make plans...probably will not be until after the holidays, but maybe even the thought that something is planned will help...

We will be trying to finish the one from yesterday though...it has the most potential...



This is called "JUST BEFORE THE NEWS" composed by Jim Messina from LOGGINS & MESSINA, the second album released in 1972.

* Kenny Loggins (vocals, guitar, rhythm guitar, harmonica)
* Jim Messina (vocals, guitar (acoustic), bass, guitar, mandolin)
* Merel Bregante (vocals, drums)
* Lester (Al) Garth (fiddle, violin, horn, recorder, sax (alto), sax (tenor))
* Michael Omartian (organ, piano, keyboards, clavinet)
* Rusty Young (dobro, guitar, steel dobro)

* Milt Holland (percussion)
* Larry Sims (vocals, bass)
* Stephen Stills (vocals)

Emmy Award winning TV host, radio host and designer Christopher Lowell will join Dr. B and Dangerous Lee to design the hell out of the Radio Happy Hour--and if you're not sure what that means, you're in good company.

Lowell will give us tips on decorating the Radio Happy Hour studio, help Dr. B make his bachelor pad more inviting for the ladies and hopefully share some beard trimming techniques.

Then, by popular demand, extra Phil and extra Justin the Weatherman. The emails cried out for it so now you're going to get it! Be careful what you wish for.

All that plus, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE CYBERWAVES Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, your calls at 646-652-4804 and I guarantee a surprise that will cause you never to look at a Radio Happy Hour regular the same way again.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge--a live chat room during show time--is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!

But if you can't and miss us live, we're ALWAYS ON at www.DrBlogstein.com



We always enjoyed the LOGGINS & MESSINA ONSTAGE Live album released in 1974. Some great live performances recorded at three of the great halls; Carnegie Theatre in NYC, the Orpheum Theatre in Boston and the Winterland in San Francisco.

On the album the band moves from "JUST BEFORE THE NEWS" into this song, "ANGRY EYES" a Loggins & Messina collaboration.

Want to first off thank my TiVO...It went off just before the very last performance of the evening on that music show on Tuesday evening, so when we ran through it last night. Was not subjected to the new "Tammy Faye Baker Cosmetics" spokesmodel for their line of eyeliner...


You see.. just like a train wreck, we would have been forced to watch...

[couchdivider.gif]

Also, thank you all for you nice words yesterday. Actually beginning to feel better. The ibuprofen and the heat wrap worked their wonders...Still sore, but not like it was last night..the pain in my left leg is almost gone.

[couchdivider.gif]

Sitting here and for the life of me,
Having a problem coming up with something to write about today.

[couchdivider.gif]

The finale is on in the background and unlike last year, there is just nothing to keep my attention...

Well, Tony is on now, so that is cool, except I had to see that seat filler from two seasons ago, play googily eyes with the camera... give it up buddy....

[couchdivider.gif]

Finally feeling settled in her in Memphis as far as work and the apartment is concerned...still have not really made any friends..the complex had an odd mix of people and they go from their car to their front door without saying hello...

Hopefully, with the summer coming - we will get out more and find some people to hang with...

[couchdivider.gif]

Really miss Matt like crazy...we talk at least every other day and all, but not seeing him is hard...I guess his going away to school would be like this also...

He has chosen Towson University in Baltimore.

He is playing baseball again with an under 30 team of guys who all played in college and a few who played pro ball at the lower levels and has won the starting catcher job. He is hitting well and has thrown out 4 baserunners in 6 games.

He is planning on trying to walk-on at Towson and see if he can make the team there...

What a great thing if he does after being subjected to the abuse he got from his coaching staff his freshman year at Mercer CC.

Love him so much...hoping we can arrange a trip down here for him before school starts.

[couchdivider.gif]

Had another chill moment with Melinda as she sang with Beebee and Cee cee Winans...the girl can bring it...

[couchdivider.gif]

The two-hour finale of LOST is beginning...we know since TiVO just popped on...

We are an hour in and last year's winner has still not appeared on stage...another slight by the producers...

[couchdivider.gif]

Last weekend they held The Third Annual Baseball Homecoming in West Windsor, NJ. This was an event we had conceived three years ago. The two high schools meet and play for the whole day. This year the Middle Schools played, the the Freshman teams, then JV and finally Varsity.

Felt badly we could not make it back, but heard it went well and the booster clubs made some additional funds to help support the teams.

The one thing we tried for over my two years as president of the South booster club was a new scoreboard. It was installed earlier this season. Trying to get a picture of it to post.

I apologize to my Canadian guests if I came across as knocking the legislature of Nova Scotia, your love of hockey or anything else... I was trying to be funny... I failed...My Canadian readers took me to task, especially Anndi, who spent an incredible amount of time doing research to make her point...

[couchdivider.gif]

Well, Taylor finally made an appearance and hour and a half into the show.
Not even an introduction for him.

We like Clive Barnes but his slam at Taylor as doing OK
and the real star being Chris was uncalled for -
showed how classless they are.

Would have loved to have seen Taylor walk out on them,
but he held his head up high.

Congrats to Jordin for the win...

[couchdivider.gif]

Not more much for me to say today... brain just is not working...we will be reviewing the upcoming new novel by BRAD THOR, "THE FIRST COMMANDMENT".

Through Doc Blogstein we received an autographed advance uncorrected proof. Come on by and check it out for yourself... no spoilers though...

[couchdivider.gif]

HOLY CRAP! If you watch LOST, tell me you did not have chills running up and down your body for the last four minutes of that episode...

THAT is what a cliff-hanger is supposed to be about...we am sitting here after just watching it and the chills are still happening... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT is what a twist is supposed to be like....

THAT is why it is one of the best shows on TV today.....
