Twenty-five years ago, I had the great honor of talking with the late Keith Knudsen, drummer for the Doobie Brothers.  Since they are on tour again, I thought it would be great to post an interview for their 30th anniversary CD called Sibling Rivalry.

I look back with fondness to interviews like this, especially when the artist is no longer with us.  In 2001, I had the great honor of talking to the late Dan Fogelberg.  My late wife and I were avid fans of Dan's music and had the privilege of seeing Dan live in concert.  In this interview, Dan talks about hitting the road for the summer concert season and about his music.  Sidebar - Dan's song from 1978, "The Power of Gold" with Tim Weisberg, was the very first song I played in my AFRTS radio career. Click here to check out Dan's music on SpotifyFeedback: Send us a text.How to Contact Us:Official Website: https://Someoneyoushouldknowpodcast.comGmail: [email protected]: @RIKANTHONY1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rikanthonyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/someoneyoushouldknowpodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rik-anthony2019/TikTok: @SomeoneYouShouldKnow2023YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@someoneyoushouldknowpodcastThank you for listening!Theme music "Welcome to the Show" by Kevin MacLeod was used per the standard license agreement.

This week, we Flashback 25 years, to 2000 and the release of what I consider to be one of my all-time favorite albums. It's one you probably never heard of.  The artist is Robynn Ragland, at the time a musician playing the Midwest concert circuit. I happened upon her song "The People You Know" on WVRV 101.1 FM "The River,"  and said she'd be ideal as a guest on my brand new national show, "Someone You Should Know." So sit back and enjoy this one from the way-back machine, and one of the very first episodes of the original "Someone You Should Know."Click here to check out Robynn's music on SpotifyFeedback: Send us a text.How to Contact Us:Official Website: https://Someoneyoushouldknowpodcast.comGmail: [email protected]: @RIKANTHONY1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rikanthonyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/someoneyoushouldknowpodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rik-anthony2019/TikTok: @SomeoneYouShouldKnow2023YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@someoneyoushouldknowpodcastThank you for listening!Theme music "Welcome to the Show" by Kevin MacLeod was used per the standard license agreement.
