09/30 Elayne Boosler, The Wise Guys Sit-Down Show

Join Mike Horn on the 
ENTERTAINMENT EDITION of THE PM SHOW
talkin' about ALL the hot topics...


COMEDIAN ELAYNE BOOSLER joins the show!

GLENDALE PHILHARMONIC OPENS NEW SEASON WITH WORLD PREMIERE OF “RESCUE – A TRUE STORY”, NARRATED BY CELEBRITY COMEDIAN ELAYNE BOOSLER, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6TH, AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF GLENDALE.

Program to feature acclaimed Trio Da Mare E Sole soloists cellist Ruslan Biryukov, clarinetist Dr. Julia Heinen, and pianist Dmitry Rachmanov.

The Glendale Philharmonic’s Positive Motions Concert Series will celebrate the opening of its fourth season on Sunday, October 6th, with the world premiere of Rescue – A True Story , (a musical narrative about a dog’s rescue) written by celebrity comedian Elayne Boosler and composed by award-winning composer Carol Worthey. The concert will be held at 4:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Glendale, located at 209 N. Louise Street, Glendale, CA.

An original composition, the piece will be narrated by Boosler and performed by the esteemed Trio Da Mare E Sole, which includes clarinetist Dr. Julia Heinen, Russian cellist and founder of the Glendale Philharmonic Orchestra Ruslan Biryukov, and pianist Dmitry Rachmanov. A family oriented program, the Trio will also perform “Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Cello and Piano, Op. 83” by Max Bruch, and Beethoven’s “Trio in B-flat Major, Op.11”.

Rescue – A True Story is the only musical piece ever composed for a narrator, clarinetist, a pianist and a cellist. Boosler has been involved in animal rescue and advocacy since 1996, and in 2001 founded her own animal rescue and advocacy non-profit organization, Tails of Joy (www.tailsofjoy.net).

“Music is a positive carrier of emotion. ‘Rescue—A True Story’ takes the listener to a place where heart and humor meet. With each note I imagined, I felt as though I was looking into the eyes of my own rescue dogs, (Sophie and Winston) who found their forever home with me. Knowing I had three world class performers whose artistry would express every nuance in the score, I wanted to provide just the right touches of fire and delicacy.  I have no doubt you will leave the theater with a full heart,” stated composer Carol Worthey.

A comedian, writer, and animal activist, Boosler is best known for her feisty political humor, her love of baseball and animals, all of which are a big part of her act. Over the years, Boosler has been a TV regular, starred in five of her own one-hour Showtime comedy specials, written, directed and starred in two movies for Cinemax. She has done standup from Las Vegas to the London Palladium, to the White House Press Correspondent’s Dinner and performed for the Queen of England. For more information go to www.elayneboosler.com.

 “I feel nothing lends itself to music better than the top notes of comedy, tempered by the depth of emotion we and animals experience every day in the world of rescue.  Rescuers speak for those who cannot. We are their voices. To be lucky enough to also have their voices be soulful instruments played by some of the world’s best musicians, opens the eyes and hearts of all who hear it,” explains Boosler.

As a soloist, Dr. Heinen has performed hundreds of recitals throughout the United States and is often heard as a chamber musician with the noted Trio Chiaroscuro and the Oneota Chamber Players. An accomplished ensemble musician, she has served as Principal Clarinetist with numerous symphony orchestras and also serves as a professor of music at California State University, Northridge, teaching clarinet and chamber music.

Known to worldwide audiences for his superb artistry, passion, and individuality, Biryukov has performed throughout the world with such renowned artists as violinist Midori at Disney Hall, and cellist Kirill Rodin at the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory. Biryukov was the only Russian cellist invited to solo with the orchestra at the inaugural season of the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, and is the only cellist to perform solo recitals for 10 consecutive years at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Sundays Live Concert Series.

A graduate of The Juilliard School, Dmitry Rachmanov is a Professor of Piano at California State University, Northridge, where he also serves as the Chair of Keyboard Studies. An established musician, Rachmanov has appeared as a guest artist at many top universities throughout the country and has performed at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and Beijing’s Concert Hall, among others.

Tickets to the concert are $15 (balcony), $20 (mezzanine), $25 (orchestra), $50 (VIP seating) and $100 (Conductor’s Circle).  For tickets, and more information about student and group discounts for five or more, please call 323-663-3601.  Tickets can also be purchased online at www.GlendalePhil.com. 

Free Parking will be available on a first come-first served basis on the Maryland Street parking lot adjacent to the church, located between Wilson Street and California Street, directly behind the Alex Theatre.
   
Known for its architecture, perfect acoustics and beautiful sanctuary, The First Baptist Church of Glendale was originally built in 1924. It is considered a historical landmark in the area and has been beautifully restored.

09/27 Bob Crane, C. Crane, Jimmy Mac, Chris Carley, The Gossip Brigade, Football Handicapping

Join MIKE HORN on the 
WEEKEND EDITION of THE PM SHOW...


Bob Crane, Owner of C. Crane stops by to tell us about all of their new products!


C. Crane Company, Inc. is an American electronics retailer based in Fortuna, California. The company mainly deals in specialty radio and lighting equipment and is best known for its GeoBulb line of LED light bulbs.

C. Crane was founded in 1976 in San Francisco, California by Bob and Susan Crane. The company was initially a furniture design and manufacturing company and only switched to being an electronics distributor in 1983, upon the Cranes' relocation to Fortuna. C. Crane's first electronics product was the "Select-A-Tenna", an antenna manufactured by Intensitronics Corp. of Hales Corners, Wisconsin, for long-distance reception of AM radio broadcasts. The company advertised on late-night radio shows, which served to increase business from AM listeners looking for a better antenna. Later in the 1980s, C. Crane began to distribute radios, such as the GE Superadio, to go along with their antennas. Following the 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquakes, the company expanded their catalog to include emergency radios and other disaster equipment, such as flashlights. Eventually, C. Crane began to produce its own radios in collaboration with Sangean.




Then Jimmy Mac, Chris Carley and Tomas join in for 
 some football handicapping!

Former bookie Jimmy Mac is a native of Jersey (“The only state which you don’t have to say the ‘New!’” as he’s fond of saying) and grew up with the real Sopranos. He even dated at least one of their daughters. His father owned a horsemeat slaughterhouse, so Jimmy is an expert with the ponies – though is still awaiting an endorsement deal from PETA. An accomplished wordsmith, he was excited to get into the publishing world but then found out what “bookmaking” really means. Nevertheless, it was a fateful miscommunication as he quickly discovered that his true talent was predicting the outcomes of sporting events. He is both feared and revered in Las Vegas, where he still receives comps from some of the best casinos in town. Though now retired from the bookmaking business, he runs a very successful light bulb distribution company and every week watches more college and professional football games than are actually played.

09/02 Crystal Bowersox, American Idol, Patsy Cline, Sweet Dick Whittington

Crystal Lynn Bowersox is an American singer-songwriter and actress, who was the runner-up on the ninth season of American Idol. She was the first female finalist in three years.

Bowersox's debut album, Farmer's Daughter, was released on December 14, 2010 by Jive Records. Bowersox released her second album, All That for This, on March 26, 2013. She will be playing Patsy Cline in the Broadway production of Always, Patsy Cline in the fall of 2013.


Early life

Bowersox and her twin brother, Carl, were born in Elliston, Ohio. She attended Oak Harbor High School in Oak Harbor, Ohio, and later attended the Toledo School for the Arts in Toledo, Ohio. She was in choir and played flute in the school marching band. Bowersox performed her first professional gig at the age of 10. She appeared at local bars in Toledo, most popularly Papa's Tavern, and The Village Idiot in Maumee, Ohio. At the age of 17, she moved to Chicago looking for opportunity. She most commonly played as a busker at several train stations, including the Washington and Lake Redline stops. She frequented open mics, such as the Uncommon Ground Clark and Grace, and Devon locations. She also played extensively in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. In 2006, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs chose Bowersox to represent Chicago folk musicians in the Sister Cities program "Experience Chicago", held in Birmingham, England. In 2007, Bowersox traveled internationally on an independent small cafe tour, including Memphis, Tennessee, Oaxaca, Mexico, and Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey.

American Idol

Bowersox auditioned for American Idol in Chicago, Illinois. She sang "Piece of My Heart." Guest judge Shania Twain commented that she had a "raw, natural talent."

On March 2, 2010, Bowersox was hospitalized because of complications from type 1 diabetes, forcing a last minute switch in scheduling to give her extra time to recuperate. Bowersox confirmed the illness on the May 19, 2010 results show during an interview with host Ryan Seacrest. The men competed that day instead of the women. She sang the next day and impressed all of the judges.

The following week, her strong performance prompted Simon Cowell to state, "Right now, you are the one everyone has to beat." After Siobhan Magnus's elimination from the top 6 of American Idol, Bowersox became the last remaining female contestant in the competition.

Bowersox is the first female contestant to make it to the finale since Jordin Sparks won the title in 2007. She is also the first contestant in American Idol history to have one of their original songs played on the show, or at least during their hometown package. Crystal's original song "Holy Toledo" was played on the May 19 Top 3 Results show as the background music for her homecoming package - when she returned to Toledo, Ohio and Elliston, Ohio the previous weekend - and segued into her live performance of the same song at "Bowerstock".

During her time on Idol, Bowersox dated Tony Kusian, but the couple broke up just hours before the Idol finale. On the final performance day, in Simon Cowell's final critique on American Idol, he called her performance of "Up to the Mountain" "outstanding" and "by far, the best performance and song of the night". On May 26, 2010, Bowersox was named runner-up to winner Lee DeWyze. She announced that after her Idol career, she wants to bring more awareness to type 1 diabetes. Bowersox is the third Idol Runner-Up behind Clay Aiken and David Archuleta to never be in the Bottom 3 or Bottom 2.

Post-Idol career

On May 27, 2010, one day after Bowersox's second place Idol finish, it was announced that she had signed with Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment and with Jive Records. Her single "Up to the Mountain" has since been released to radio stations and iTunes.
2010-12: Farmer's Daughter

Bowersox's debut album Farmer's Daughter was released to stores and iTunes on December 14, 2010. Bowersox performed her single "Farmer's Daughter" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on December 16, 2010.

On October 7, 2011 RCA Music Group announced it was disbanding Jive Records along with Arista Records and J Records. With the shutdown, all other artists previously signed to these three labels would see their future material released under the RCA Records brand. However, Bowersox was not one of the artists who made the move, and was instead left without a record label.

She made her acting debut on a second season episode of Body of Proof. An EP of pre-Idol recordings called Once Upon a Time... was released in June 2012.

She was a guest on the Blues Traveler album Suzie Cracks the Whip performing back-up vocals on the song "I Don't Wanna Go" and appeared with them in concert at their July 4, 2012 concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.

In October 2012 Bowersox signed a recording deal with Shanachie Records. On January 7, 2013, it was confirmed that Bowersox's sophomore studio album, All That for This, would be released March 26, 2013. The album was produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and features Jakob Dylan. Bowersox debuted the first single from the album, "Dead Weight," on On Air with Ryan Seacrest on February 5, 2013. Bowersox told Seacrest, "This song means more to me than even I can completely comprehend."

Bowersox began a headlining tour in support of the album on March 1, 2013. The band Montë Mar was her concert opener, as well as her backing band on dates through March 31, 2013. On March 25, 2013 Bowersox appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and performed her song "Movin On" to promote the album. Montë Mar was her back up band for this performance as well. It was announced here that Bowersox will play Patsy Cline in the Broadway production of Always, Patsy Cline in the Fall of 2013. It was announced on June 11, 2013 that Bowersox will be headlining the Lancaster Festival in Lancaster, Ohio on June 27, 2013

Sweet Dick Whittington Joins Michael Horn on The Weekend Edition of The PM Show!


Sweet Dick Whittington (born 1934) is a long-time disc jockey in Los Angeles, who has also appeared as an actor in movies and on television.

Prior to his arrival in Southern California, Whittington was a popular radio personality in the San Francisco Bay area at Oakland's KROW (960 AM), where he hosted the "Night Watchman" overnight program, and, later, a weekday afternoon show, from 1955 to 1958. In the fall of 1958, he moved to KSFO (560 AM) in San Francisco, as host of the 9 p.m. to midnight program. He began his stint in Los Angeles at KABC 790 AM, doing a one-hour talk show weekdays and a 3-hour Sunday talk show from 1965-1969. In 1969, he moved to KGIL.

His greatest fame in the Los Angeles market was in the morning drive time slot at KGIL AM 1260 in the "Sin Fernando Valley". For a brief time, he left KGIL to do the evening drive time slot at KFI AM 640. He also was briefly heard in the late 1980s on KIEV (870 AM) and, for a few months in 1989, was back at KABC AM. According to the entry in www.laradio.com, he has retired and is writing a novel.

Many people regard his broadcast style as being ahead of its time. Rather than the "happy morning to you" type of radio personality, he often spoke on the air about things that bothered him and foreshadowed the Howard Stern era of speaking your mind. At stations where he was still spinning records, he would many times interrupt a song midway through saying, "I like it up to that point, then I get bored."

One of Whittington's notable film roles was as the disc jockey in the TV movie Duel, Steven Spielberg's directorial debut. He can also be seen briefly as a ring announcer in Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull.

He now lives in the San Luis Obispo area and is the image voice for radio station KKJL-AM (adult standards).
