| The Beach Boys and My Three Sons highlight next Dave White Presents! |
[Jan. 28th, 2012|03:20 pm] |
The Beach Boys, My Three Sons, and a Musical Mystery on the Next “Dave White Presents”!
While never an official Beach Boy himself, past Dino, Desi, and Billy member Billy Hinsche was part of their touring outfit as keyboardist, guitarist, and backing vocalist from the 1970s through the 1990s. Billy became part of the extended Wilson family when his sister Annie married Carl Wilson in February 1966. Currently, he’s Al Jardine’s musical director. Who could know the Beach Boys better?
On Tuesday, January 31, Billy Hinsche returns to online radio’s “Dave White Presents” to discuss his new DVD documentary, Carl Wilson—Here and Now. The film is an affectionate tribute to the late singer of hits like “Good Vibrations” and “God Only Knows.” Family members and fellow musicians remember Carl as the leader of the group when it was a touring unit and as a steadying force in a family struggling with rock and roll excesses. In his interview with Wes Britton, Billy shares what you can see and hear in his three-hour, two-disc film based on very exclusive and intimate insights into one of the greatest American bands of them all!
“I spent my entire life playing nerds.” So says Barry Livingston, most famous for playing Ernie Douglas on My Three Sons. In a lively conversation with Dave White, Barry talks about being a child star and how he joined a successful show starring his older brother Stanley who played his older brother Chip in the series. But his career didn’t end there—he played on Room 222, The Streets of San Francisco, Police Woman, and most recently in Zodiac, Two and a Half Men, and Mad Men. His films include You Don't Mess with the Zohan and The Social Network. On DWP, he’ll share some great stories and tell you what’s in his 2011 memoir, The Importance of Being Ernie: From My Three Sons to Mad Men, a Hollywood Survivor Tells All!
In the mid-70s, songwriter Eric Beam was a member of a Pittsburgh band called Felix Harp. Despite the fact the group released three albums, you never heard them because their record company never intended to sell them. Why not? One of Eric’s songs, “Shoes,” was re-recorded by singer Reparata after she left the Delrons. But, while climbing the charts and becoming an international hit, Polydor Records pulled it off the shelves. Why? To deepen the mystery, only last year did Eric learn their were four versions of his song recorded and released by bands in England, Germany, France, and Greece. We’ll dig into what happened, play you the Reparata classic and, for the first time anywhere, play you a medley of Eric’s song in three languages.
All this comes your way Tuesday, January 31 at 7:30 Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over—

| Rose Marie, Mitch Ryder, Jules Verne on next DWP! |
[Jan. 14th, 2012|01:19 pm] |
Rose Marie, Mitch Ryder, and Jules Verne on the next “Dave white Presents”!
Yes, for five years, Rose Marie was Sally Rogers on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. But did you know the 88 year old singer/actress began her career in vaudeville as “Baby Rose Marie” back in 1926? Her extensive resume also includes co-starring on THE DORIS DAY SHOW and HOLLYWOOD SQUARES, not to mention guest appearances on everything from THE MONKEES to MURPHY BROWN!
On Tues. Jan. 17, Rose Marie joins Dave White in a lively conversation with more stories than we can tease you with here. How about her having the brass to demand an $11.00 refund from gangster Bugsy Siegel? But that’s not all . . .
“Devil With a Blue Dress On.” “Sock It To Me, Baby!” “C. C. Rider.” These were only a few of the hits from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels during the 1960s. If that’s all you know about Mitch, then Wes Britton’s interview with the Detroit legend will tell you about Mitch’s 25 releases over the years, many only available in Europe. Did you know Jimi Hendrix wanted Mitch to join him in a new band? Did you know Mitch just published his candid memoir, DEVILS AND BLUE DRESSES: MY WILD RIDE AS A ROCK LEGEND? Or that he has a new album coming in Feb. called THE PROMISE produced by Don Was? We’ll play you two selections and share some inside stories about what Mitch will be doing in 2012. But that’s not all either . . .
In our last broadcast, Brian Taves of the North American Jules Verne Society talked about a paperback series of Verne’s books now being translated into English for the first time. What can you discover in these brand-new collections? Expect some surprises in part two of this revealing look back at a father of science fiction . . .
All this, along with the “predictably unpredictable” humor of DWP, comes Tues. Jan 17 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over—

On Wed. Jan. 18, the 90 minutes of variety entertainment will become available as a podcast, mp3 download, from itunes and through TEVO, or on the player at:

| British Blues, Groucho Marx, and Jules Verne on next Dave White Presents! |
[Jan. 1st, 2012|01:03 pm] |
Ring in the New Year with British Blues, Groucho Marx, and Jules Verne on the next Dave White Presents!
On Tuesday, Jan. 3, Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown joins Wes Britton to talk about the British blues revival of the 1960s and 70s and his legendary band, Savoy Brown. Back then, the hard-driving group issued popular albums like STREET CORNER TALKING and RAW SIENNA and had fm hits like “Tell Mama.” (Did you know the group Foghat was formed by 3 former Savoy Brown players?) Now, Savoy Brown is celebrating their 45th anniversary with a hot new CD, VOODOO MOON. Yep, we’ll play a sample.
Next, Dave White visits with Steve Stoliar, author of RAISED EYEBROWS—MY YEARS INSIDE GROUCHO’S HOUSE. Stoliar was Groucho Marx’s personal secretary and archivist during the show business icon’s final years. He got to “spend quality time” with, among others, Zeppo, Gummo, Mae West, George Burns, Bob Hope, Jack Lemmon, SJ Perelman, and Steve Allen. The book earned rave reviews when it first came out over a decade ago—its new, expanded edition is earning even more praise from insiders and fans!
TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. These are the most famous novels by French author Jules Verne. But the imaginative creator of Captain Nemo spun a much wider canon of work including plays and short stories, much of which was never translated into English. Until now.
On the next DWP, Brian Taves, editor of a new series from the North American Jules Verne Society, shares the inside story into what readers can enjoy now due to an international effort to finally make the adventure writer’s full body of work available to the public. Did you know the novels you read as a child were dramatically altered by various editors and likely not the translation Verne intended? What’s going to happen in the new MYSTERIOUS ISLAND movie? Expect to be surprised--
All this comes your way on Tues. Jan. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over--

On Wed. Jan. 4, the 90 minutes of variety entertainment will become available as a podcast, mp3 download, from itunes and through TEVO, or on the player at--

| Firesign Theatre, Nils Lofgren, and JFK on the next Dave White Presents! |
[Dec. 2nd, 2011|07:55 pm] |
Comedy with The Firesign Theatre, New Rock from Nils Lofgren, and Part 2 of John McAdams on the JFK Assassination on the Next Dave White Presents!
Don’t crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers! We’re all Bozos on this bus. Everything you know is wrong! Firesign Theatre fans know these phrases well as they were titles of very popular comedy albums of the ‘60s and ‘70s. As founding member David Ossman shares with Wes Britton on the Dec. 6 edition of DWP, the Firesign Theatre is alive and well and still kicking! Their latest project is the Shakespeare parody, ANYTHINGE YOU WANT TO, which is both an audio and literary endeavor. David has so much to share about the Firesigns then and now that this will be a two-part conversation, making our December shows very special indeed!
December 6 is also a big date for another DWP guest, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Nils Lofgren. Not only does Nils talk about his work with Neil Young, Ringo Starr, and his 25 years with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, he shares the inside story of his brand-new album, OLD SCHOOL, which will be released just hours before his appearance on DWP! We’ll play you two samples that demonstrate being “Old School” is still the best education in rock!
Proving once again that DWP puts the V in Variety, Dave White also offers part two of his very insightful conversation with Kennedy assassination expert, John McAdams. As with part one aired on our last broadcast, expect perspectives that might surprise you, even after all these years.
All this, and the usual unusual “predictably unpredictable” humor of Dave White Presents debuts Tues. Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over—
www.KSAV.org
On Wed. Dec. 7, the 90 minutes will become available as a podcast, mp3 download, from itunes and through TEVO, or on the player at:

| Ben E. King, JFK, and Music Memories on next Dave White Presents |
[Nov. 18th, 2011|08:43 am] |
Next Week’s “Dave White Presents” Serves Up Memories, Music, and Hope.
For The Drifters, he was the lead voice on songs like “Save the Last Dance for Me," “This Magic Moment," and "I Count the Tears." On his own, Ben E. King had hits like "Spanish Harlem" and “Stand by Me".”
On Tuesday, Nov. 22, Ben E. King will be the very special guest on “Dave White Presents.” Not only will he share musical memories with Wes Britton, Ben will discuss a current project he’s involved in, Pioneers For a Cure: the American Collection Songs to Fight Cancer. Along with folks like Suzanne Vega, Tom Chapin, Randy Brecker, and Tom Verlaine, Ben E. King has leant his voice to this unique program helping to raise money for cancer research. We’ll play you a sample from this very worthy project and tell you how you can participate.
Next, we offer more musical memories with Jeff March and Marti Smiley Childs, co-authors of WHERE HAVE ALL THE POP STARS GONE? Volume One of this new series includes interviews with members of The Association, Kingston Trio, Zombies, Herman’s Hermits, The Spiral Staircase as well as Bobby Vee and Chris Montez. Jeff and Marti will go behind-the-scenes of this nostalgic romp and tell stories that wil surprise you!
Then, in a change of pace conversation, Dave White talks with scholar, author, and historian John McAdams about the Kennedy assassination that took place Nov. 22, 1963. Dave and John discuss why, almost 50 years later, many still think a mystery was never solved and why some think it never will. And why others are certain the case was closed convincingly a long, long time ago.
All this, and all the usual “predictably unpredictable” comedy of DWP will debut Tues. Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then 7:30 Pacific over—
www.KSAV.org
On Wed. Nov. 23, the 90 minutes of variety entertainment will be available as a podcast, mp3 download, from itunes and through TEVO, and on the player at—
