RIP, Dick Clark

Two days ago Dick Clark passed away and this was the editorial cartoon in our daily newspaper today:

I introduced you to cartoonist Greg Perry (and MY artwork too) 18 months ago.

As a teenager I remember watching "American Bandstand" Saturday mornings at 11 am. I'm from beautiful British Columbia - just like the guys in this classic flashback:

Thank you for ALL the memories Dick!


YOU were part of the soundtrack of so many people's lives!

Too Much To Handle: The 2012 Vancouver Canucks!

With two great goalies, two super (and healthy) Sedins and the Green Men, the Vancouver Canucks are poised for a long playoff run beginning tomorrow! Fasten your seat belts because we are going for the Stanley Cup again:)

It was close - but no Stanley last spring - as the Canucks lost game seven to the Boston Bruins.

Let's be careful out there hockey fans! NO rioting!

Hope your team does well!

Here is my special video tribute created for the Canucks during last year's excitement:

TWO Much To Handle? Calipari, Stamkos, Sabres and their fans

The coach on the left lost out to the coach on the right in Monday night's college basketball final. Kentucky beat Kansas and coach Calipari finally got his shining moment.

Not as much emotion in my photo here >>>>>
Albert Pujols and myself are ready for the launch of baseball in America tonight. His old team (St. Louis) is in Miami to take on the Marlins while Fat Albert (referring to his bank account!) and the Angels play their first game Friday night against Kansas City.

Just 2 games tonight in the NHL and Steven Stamkos needs just 2 goals to hit 60 as he and the Lightning visit Montreal. St. Louis hosts Detroit in the other matchup.

Stamkos scored twice in the last 63 seconds on Monday versus Washington to save the Sabres' season! Yesterday the Sabres pulled even with Washington in the standings by coming back from three goals down to Toronto and winning 6-5 in overtime! Two games remain for both Buffalo and the Capitals as they each have 88 points in the battle for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot.

The Buffalo fans are excited to say the least! With last night’s sold-out game vs. Toronto, the Sabres beat the franchise record for average paid attendance per game this season, topping the previous record by more than 450 tickets per game.

Final Four Excitement Awaits!

• Louisville and Kentucky tip off at 3:09 pm PST
• Ohio State and Kansas tip off at 5:49 pm PST

The winners meet for the college basketball title on Monday night.

I would like to invite all Buffalo Bills' fans to cheer for coach Bill Self (BillS) and the Kansas Jayhawks!

I would like to invite all Kelowna hockey fans out to Rutland Arena the next two nights. Do NOT cheer for the Nitehawks from Beaver Valley BUT the Kelowna Chiefs! The Hawks won the first two games of the Kootenay International Junior League Final earlier this week so Kelowna needs to mount a comeback. It is my privilege to be on PA.

"Men In Black IV" starring L-R:

Tony Johnston (Chiefs' Web color commentary, stats & music), Brett Mix (Chiefs'  Web play-by-play), Ralph Hass (Public Address Announcer) and Corey Bell-Esau (Technical Director/Music)

38 (is) Special for the Sabres!! 37 for Charlie Kerfeld

38th win tonight for the Buffalo Sabres puts us into the playoff picture with five games left! 
"Thirty-eight days after they were left for dead as the last-place team in the Eastern Conference."
Here are all the details from the 5-1 romp over the Washington Capitals.


Crank up some 38 Special because the Sabres have caught up to the competition!

Nice PR (and PA) if I do say (NOT sing) so myself

The legendary Paul Rodgers is in concert tonight at the Kelowna Community Theatre. He lives in our area and became a Canadian citizen last year. Detailed interview from eVent here. 

I can't sing - so I will be on PA for the Kelowna Chiefs as we open round three of the KIJHL playoffs at home versus Sicamous on Saturday,  March 17 and Sunday the 18th at Rutland Arena. Join us!

Honesty over Hockey today

I usually edit with my Pro Tools software in my studio. But, do you like the editing job I did with page 4 of the eVent paper in Kelowna?

Seriously, is there anything scarier than another Eddie Murphy movie?

The article (above) by Tim Schroeder (he married my wife and I 24 years ago!) is a good one but I don't see the link up yet at the paper. I will update it here when that happens.

I just ordered this book:

Voiceover Verse of the day

As I get ready for a day at the Mic, this is from Micah:

These Colorful Ladies are leading the way!

Congratulations to all the Kelowna Women in Business! 
The 20th Anniversary edition is out! Notice the colorful references below?

Here is Betty White as eloquent as ever:
