Poll is closed, you have spoken, and the winner is...
For the past few weeks, the MIKE-FM website has conducted a poll to see which song I will be allowed to dance to on MIKE's Morning Show with Tim Barron. Many of you have cast your votes, and it has been a real battle between Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder", Prince's "Delirious" and Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" (the Cars "Shake It Up" never had a chance...LOL!).
The polls are now closed, and I will be dancing to the winning song this coming week on MIKE's Morning Show with Tim Barron. This event will be shot on video and be available on YouTube and on the MIKE-FM website.
Check out the video 'tease' on YouTube below.

Paula Prentiss stops by the MIKE-FM Morning Show
We were doing the show this morning when Tim and I noticed a familiar-looking woman in the AM station's studio next to us. Could it be? Nah, we first thought. Then Tim and I Googled, and sure enough... Hollywood legend Paula Prentiss was in the building with her daughter Prentiss Benjamin. All of Paula's movies..."What's New Pussycat" with Peter Sellers, "The Stepford Wives", "Catch-22", "Where The Boys Are", "Move" with Elliot Gould.... and TV as well! I remember her on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and that '60s ABC sit-com "He Said, She Said" with her husband actor/drietor Richard Benjamin. Turns out she and her daughter Prentiss are in Lansing to do a stage presentation of George Bernard Shaw's "Mrs. Warren's Profession" and the Boar's Head Theater. I snagged her from the AM studio and got her over to MIKE-FM for an impromptu interview 'on-the-fly'. Listen to the interview below!

No, I'm not dead (so I don't need a Memorial)!
Actually I've been so daggone busy I haven't been able to post on this thing. So, to stop being the slacker, here I go!
Things at MIKE-FM have been hopping! When I started on the morning show there, we were #7 in the market. Right now according to the numbers we are #2! (#1 here we come!) And I've been rewarded (or punished, depending on your definition) with a promotion - Creative Services Director. Time to make the promos, imaging, and all them there things.
Coming up in about a month - Common Ground! Lots of great artists and fun for 8 days at Riverfront Park in Lansing. Tim is once again the master of ceremonies for the festival, so I'm sure I'll be there to help out and do the artist schmooze thing. Plus in July I'll be doing a remote from Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant. Ought to be fun - I promise not to gamble away the appearance fee.
