If you Google “Debbie Weems,” you’ll see that, sadly, her life ended in tragedy.

Today we’ve got a real treat. If you’ve watched sports on TV at any point in the last few decades, you’ve probably heard this man’s voice.

info_outlineThis is the most “off the wall” podcast that you’ll hear. I was backstage at the Milwaukee Auditorium with Paul Revere and the Raiders, asking questions and getting some promos for the WOKY announcers and for a great organization, Junior Achievement. The Raiders were known for their wild antics and revolutionary war outfits. This session will reflect the chaos of a band that never took itself too seriously. It started out normal. Next thing I know Paul is shouting orders like a colonial general. At one time they took my mic and replaced it with a banana. Someone said that these guys were like pirates. I was thinking that maybe I should have taken out insurance for this day.
