April 21, 2012 What are you doing between 7 and 10 a.m. on Sunday?
I'd like to invite you on a 'worldly' journey on Earth Day as we remember two music icons who passed away last week, celebrate a guitarist's birthday and get you ready for a spectacular concert on Friday in Laramie.
It's all coming up on 'Your Sunday Brunch' April 22, 2012.
Turn the page to take a look at the menu.
On Thursday, Jiroemon Kimura of Japan, the world’s oldest living man and the third oldest man in recorded history, celebrated his 115th birthday. Happy birthday, Jiroemon! (It’s anybody’s guess how they fit that many candles on a cake.)
April 15, 2012 How'd you like to join me for 'Your Sunday Brunch'?
We start out waking you up a little on the psychodelic side, we'll add in a large dose of Tom Petty to get ready for his shows this week and we're going to welcome the new rockers into the hall of fame.
This is the halfway point in April so we have some 'middle' songs, we might jump back 'Under The Covers' and there's some great musical birthdays to celebrate.
Take a look at today's 'Your Sunday Brunch' Menu on the next page.
