Tony Butala
There are some voices that never grow old, some songs that never lose their magic, and some performers who leave a lasting impression on our hearts. Today, we remember one of those special entertainers, Tony Butala, the legendary voice behind the Lettermen, who passed away Nov. 1. For generations, Tony and the Lettermen gave us unforgettable romantic harmonies with hits like "The Way You Look Tonight," "When I Fall in Love," and "Goin' Out of My Head/Can't Take My Eyes Off You." Their music was the soundtrack to first dates, first dances, and first loves. And for many of us, those harmonies still bring back wonderful memories. I had the pleasure of interviewing tony some time ago, and today, in his memory, I'd like to share that conversation with you once again. As you will hear, he fondly remembered the WOKY Pops Festival at County Stadium.

Halloween Highlights
Welcome to our Halloween podcast, where the potions are questionable and the witches are wonderful. We're brewing a Halloween special guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows, and possibly a wart or two. First, we'll meet a witch whose love potions are so far below federal standards, the FDA might want to put her on a broomstick and fly her to an inspection site. Then we'll stir the cauldron with a discussion of witch doctor potions. And finally, we'll meet a woman who has a rather unusual way of celebrating Halloween. So, what's in these witches' potions? Can a witch doctor really cure what ails you? And what on earth could a woman possibly choose as her second favorite way to celebrate if jumping out of a cake is off the table? Let's just say it involves a little mischief, a lot of imagination, and something you probably wouldn't want grandma to hear about! We're going to stir up some secrets, expose some questionable witches, and discover one woman's idea of Halloween fun that might just make the spirits blush!

Jon Hall
Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're going back to a fascinating chapter in Milwaukee area music history….the days when local teenagers could form a band, record a 45, and dream of their song on the radio. My guest is someone who was right there in the middle of it all…. Jon Hall, producer of Teen Town Records. And the story we're going to talk about is Tony's Tygers, a young Wisconsin band whose recording "Little by Little" became a memorable part of the local music scene. Think about what that meant back then. These weren't huge national stars walking into a major Hollywood studio. These were young musicians from the area, recording their music and trying to make an impact…with people like Jon Hall helping turn those dreams into actual records. You're going to enjoy this conversation, especially if you were a teenager in Milwaukee back in the 60s. So, let's turn back the clock and hear the story from the man who was there.

Alan Osmond
There are some guests who bring back wonderful memories, and today's personality is certainly one of them. For me, this isn't just an interview, it's a reunion with a friend. I first had the pleasure of emceeing Osmond concerts in Milwaukee during the incredible years when Osmondmania was sweeping the country. From those exciting concert nights to staying in touch over the years, I've had the privilege of watching Alan Osmond not only as a remarkable entertainer, but as an even more remarkable person. As the oldest performing Osmond brother, Alan helped lead one of the most successful family acts in entertainment history. The Osmonds sold millions of records, filled concert halls around the world, and inspired generations with their music, their values, and unmistakable family harmony.

Bobby Sherman
Welcome to Bob Barry's Unearthed Interviews. Today we're celebrating one of the most beloved teen idols of the late 1960s and 70s: Bobby Sherman. He had many top charting hits like "Little Woman," "Julie, Do Ya Love Me," and "Easy Come, Easy Go." I had the pleasure of talking with Bobby Sherman both on the phone and in person. Every time we spoke, he was exactly the person his fans hoped he would be--friendly, gracious, funny, and genuinely appreciative of the people who supported him throughout his career. The interview you're about to hear is one of those conversations. It captures Bobby's warmth, his sense of humor, and his reflections on a remarkable career that included hit records, television stardom, and later, a life devoted to serving others. This time we got hold of him right before he left for a tour of Japan.

Bill Withers
Welcome to Bob Barry's Unearthed Interviews. Today we're opening the vault and taking you back to a conversation with Bill Withers, one of the most honest and enduring voices in American music. During my years on the radio, I had the privilege of meeting many legendary artists, but Bill stood apart. He was warm, thoughtful, and refreshingly unpretentious, with songs that spoke straight from the heart. From "Lean On Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine" to "Use Me" and "Just the Two of Us," Bill turned life's simplest moments into timeless music. We woke Bill up, so this turned out to be a short interview.
