The hardest people for me to interview is comedians. Since I’m a silly person, laughter is something that I can not seem to hide from. Yesterday, Piff The Magic Dragon, the stand out star of season 10 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, stopped by the studio and kept me laughing. He’s performing at the Chicago Improv this […]

For Flashback Friday I decided to post my interview with LisaRaye McCoy. Last year while she was in town promoting the stage play “Single But Married“, I had a chance to interview her.

In my previous posts, you can tell that I really enjoy cooking. So it was my pleasure to chat with “Welcome To Sweetie Pie’s” star Miss Robbie about holiday cooking tips. Miss Robbie is known for serving up some delicious southern cooking at her restaurant in St Louis. “Sweetie Pie’s” has become so successful that it’s garnered […]

  At first, when I heard the title “Violin Crooner”, I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant. I’m familiar with the term “R&B Crooner” but a violin crooner was a little perplexing to me. Just how is someone going to croon me with this instrument? Don’t get me wrong. I love classical music. I wasn’t opposed […]
