We had such a great visit with Artie Kornfeld last week but we never got to touch on Woodstock, the true legacy of this great man.  So this week we invited Artie back to have a very cool Woodstock conversation and what a tale it is. Enjoy this one folks it's a beauty!!

Well folks it only took 164 episodes to get to one of the most important figures in the history of The Cowsills and here he is.  To put it bluntly without Artie Kornfeld there would have never been a famous musical family called The Cowsills on any charts anywhere no matter how good we were.  Artie was the key to it all.  Artie Kornfeld is way more than his Woodstock legacy indicates and The Cowsills were an early success for this amazing artist in his own right.  Sit back and listen to this rock historian talk about a lot of this 'other stuff' - in fact we got to talking about so much stuff we never got to Woodstock....so next week we will have 'Artie Kornfeld-the Woodstock episode'....enjoy!!

We are back!!! We are back from the Malt Shop Cruise and the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas!  We are alive but admittedly came crawling through Las Vegas minus two of our warriors and are home safe and sound for a while now.  We have a fantastic guest, Chris Ruggiero, today so sit back and enjoy hearing a very unique story from someone so young in the entertainment industry.

Tony Orlando - we love this man Tony Orlando and what a great great visit we had. If it goes on too long folks just take a break and two-part it. Whether he's talking about when he's 15 singing doo-wop with his group The 5 Gents or taking you through his years as a record executive and the unlikely calling he receives from the universe as to where and how he should proceed in life...you need to hear this story it is remarkable. He's basically under the wings of Don Kirschner, Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann - and nobody is famous yet but all will be. Enjoy this one folks because we could have talked for hours!

Well we guess if you've won 5 Grammys, been nominated for "Producer of the Year", engineering and producing every famous artist of his day along with running the forefront of sound and studio recording techniques and innovations it's probably hard to remember a couple of interactions with "The Cowsills" who were just struggling to stay relevant when our paths crossed twice in 1972 and 1978 ("The Cocaine Drain Album" and "Covered Wagon"). Watch us hold it together as we hear, "Uh, well no I don't remember".... "Covered Wagon" and "This Here Is A Love Song" and "Down In The Valley" was a 6-hour session at the Sound Factory in Hollywood late one week night with Val at the controls and we were thrilled. It was a great night of recording more isolated and remembered in our sparse history but buried in Vals incredible life and experiences. 100 gold and platinum albums. Val Garay is an icon and important historian for the history of rock and roll.

Bill Hanley formed Hanley Sound before sound systems were even thought of as important to live concerts. Bill was the sound man at Soundblast '66 at Yankee Stadium, Hanley sound ran the board during our 1968 "Indian Lake" tour. You will hear about the history of the innovations that Bill brought early in the game as audiences grew and concerts became bigger and needed bigger space and bigger sound right up to and including Woodstock. What a story. So fascinating. Bill even visited us at Halidon Hall in Newport during those early days of just trying to figure it all out.

Today we get back to updates and gripes and whatnot. Our guest is Freedy Johnston a great singer/songwriter whose history matches up with the best of them. We love hearing Freedy tell the story of walking through South by Southwest in Austin, Texas and stopping in his tracks when he hears Susan Cowsill singing and what that all led to. Freedy discusses his career and his brand new September 9th album release "Back On The Road To You" which features a great song with our sister Susan called 'The Power of Love.

WE'RE BACK!!!! Hi everyone we are back with live broadcasts, audio AND video now, and spent this episode catching everyone up on everything. Well not quite everything. One thing we wanted to mention for the umpteenth time but seemingly never enough is that Pledge Music pledgers will eventually receive everything they've ordered. If you just ordered the signed CD then those should be going out sometime in October (we have to sign 550 of them!!!!). If you ordered the CD and Vinyl album then you will receive your order when the Vinyl comes out (on Record Store Day which will be either April 15th or 21st). Orders will only be sent when items are available to fill an order. We can't be sending someone 3 items separately. We're doing this out of our good graces but we're not going to be tripling and quadrupling post office fees. Okay everyone new guests and new weekly episodes are coming now.

This summer, The Cowsills are rerunning their favorite episodes ON VIDEO! Check out their interview with Richie Furay on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CowsillFan

We kick things off by taking you back to the very first time each of us performed for a live audience and what the experience was like. We’re going back to performances around Newport, Rhode Island where we grew up, from King’s Park to school performances at St. Johns, to performing down on Bannister’s Wharf.

We welcome the legendary Richie Furay onto the show, one of the original members of The Buffalo Springfield! Richie is one of the lead vocalists on songs such as "For What It's Worth", "Kind Woman", "Bluebird", and "Mr. Soul", and he’s answering all our lingering questions about the band over the years. We dig into how they recorded some of their bigger hits, rumored band disputes, and finally, we demand to know why they broke our hearts and split up in 1968!

The music didn’t stop there! The Buffalo Springfield band members continued to make some of the most influential music of our generation. Stills went on to form Crosby, Stills & Nash, Furay and Messina formed Poco, and Young launched his solo career. In 1969, Young reunited with Stills in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The Buffalo Springfield was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and their legacy remains alive and well!

Song of the week: "Kind Woman"

This summer, The Cowsills are rerunning their favorite episodes ON VIDEO! Check out their interview with Joe Piscopo on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CowsillFan

The career of Joe Piscopo is so voluminous and broad that to try and cover it in a short podcast episode is impossible. If we belabor even one aspect of Joe's amazing life we'll start belaboring other things then pretty soon we're in to a 5th episode with Joe belaboring everything. We did our best to hone in on some interesting factoids that we could ask Joe about like, "Why did you take the drums out of 'Wipeout' on your 1985 album "New Jersey"? Who takes the drums out of "Wipeout"?!!!! Also being the great impersonator he is (he can impersonate so many people the list has to be alphabetized to keep track) we asked about when he first discovered he had that ability and who was the subject of his first impersonation. Of course we had to get in to Sinatra and "Saturday Night Live" with Eddie Murphy and even a little Rock Positano. Enjoy the episode... we had a blast visiting with Joe.

Song of the Week: New Jersey

This summer, The Cowsills are rerunning their favorite episodes ON VIDEO! Check out their interview with John Stamos on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CowsillFan

Wait'll you hear about the "Dead Brother's" music project John is going to get going. It is awesome. Then we just got in to a lot of stuff about a lot of things about this and that and that and this... and we made some big announcements on this episode also. Enjoy!

This summer, The Cowsills are rerunning their favorite episodes ON VIDEO! Check out their interview with John Stamos on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CowsillFan

Whether it's Blackie, Jocko, Stamos, or John, Tony Gates or any of the broadway characters he's portrayed, General Hospital, Full House, Fuller House, Fullest House (just kidding there was no "Fullest House"), Grandfathered, ER, Big Shot , he's on Disney plus he's on Netflix and his TV commercials are some of his best work.... he's everywhere....visiting with John Stamos is like visiting with one of the most successful everythings of our time...and we've basically known him via our own brother John forever. He's like this true family friend. Anyway enough of John but his career though right? Where do you start? What do you focus on? So we just decided let's just visit with him and certainly questions will arise during the visit and maybe we'll even ask him something he's never been asked. Coming up...the Box Tops!

Derek Sharp (D#) could have been the front man for any band in Canada he chose to do that with...no one would have turned him down. But instead a band chose him and destiny was fulfilled. In 2008 Derek became lead singer of The Guess Who. But Derek goes way beyond fronting The Guess Who and we get in to some real fun discussions about things like that and his life before 2008 through today. You'll really enjoy this story. BULLETIN: THE PODCAST IS GOING VISUAL FOR THE SUMMER!!!!

WE ARE BACK FROM JAZZ FEST!!! We had a blast performing on the Gentilly Stage at Jazz Fest opening for Chris Isaak and Elvis Costello! They both mentioned us in their shows!!! "SAY WHAT?????" We take you through the whole trip and it was amazing. The rain, the thunder and lightning were tourist attractions for some of us! We gripe and update and have our usual fun. Coming up - Jose Feliciano, The Bacon Brothers, Derek Sharp from the Guess Who and more!!! Plus we talk about a summer plan for the podcast. Enjoy!

A COWSILL-OSMOND VISIT!!! It happened folks! Jay Osmond was gracious enough to visit with us and what a visit it was. We don't want to give too much away but we had a great time. You'll hear about their first performance in front of Walt Disney (Jay was only 6), the whole Andy Williams tale and their successful attempt at leaving what they called the "song and dance" group behind to hit the pop charts and get in on the fun of being a rock 'n roll band making hit records. Believe us you will want to hear about their path to accomplishing that. Thanks everyone enjoy!

Please sit back and enjoy our laid back relaxed conversation with Bill Cunningham and Gary Talley two of the original founding members of the Box Tops. Songs like "The Letter" and "Cry Like a Baby" were some of the best pop songs released back in the day. Everyone has a history and the Box Tops history is pretty crazy with some real unusual twists and turns you'll enjoy hearing about...and be amazed at some of the shenanigans taking place around them. Hope you enjoy this weeks episode of The Cowsills Podcast.

Godfrey Townsend is the Musical Director for the Happy Together Tour band. He is a gifted musician, keyboardist, guitarist and actually began his musical life singing opera at the age of 6. Just Google Godfrey and you can see all of the artists he has performed with. It is truly amazing. On the Happy Together Tour his band is used by every act as their back up band and he and his boys morph into all of us during the course of the show. As a guitarist you want Clapton you've got Clapton, you want Beatles you got it....Godfrey has spent his career elevating others with his talent and musicianship...if he was in your band, or on stage with you, you were better for it. Enjoy the episode folks next week....John Stamos!

If there ever was an artist who’s name should be on the lips of all music fans and who should be a star in his own right, and IS actually, it’s Rob Bonfiglio. An accomplished guitarist, singer, arranger, producer, songwriter and many other things, Rob has recorded 5 solo albums and his power pop sound and arrangements are right up there with the very best of them. Listen once and you will continue to listen. Rob currently tours with Brian Wilson. We Cowsills were all in a band with our mother and Rob is in a band with his father-in-law, Brian, (he’s married to Brian’s daughter Carnie) so we have that “family band’ thing in common. Rob’s band, Wanderlust, made a splash in the mid 1990’s and he has forged a career in music throughout the years and is deserving of all the attention a successful recording artist deserves. Enjoy the visit. Lots going on and big things coming!

Song of the Week: Text Me by Rob Bonfiglio

Hello all we are right now in Tomball, Texas waiting to perform tomorrow night at the Main Street Crossing.  We've been doing interviews for the release of "Global" coming out November 8th when we are performing at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas and you will really enjoy where Paul and Bob found themselves Saturday night so have fun with the episode.

WE DID IT!!! We almost talked our way to distraction again but we finally had a visit about our night singing the National Anthem at Fenway Park for the 3rd game of the American League National Championship series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees back in 2004. It was quite a night and we hope you enjoy quite a story!

This is a "Where's John?" episode but you'll have to listen to it to see how the question gets answered. So in visiting with ourselves we discover that SUSAN MET MARIE OSMOND!!!! You have to hear the story it is priceless. We get in to this and that during the episode and things just sort of move along on us and time just flies by. Hope you enjoy this episode many more guests coming and thanks for listening!

For 39 years, from 1982 to 2020, Fritz Coleman was our top weatherman on KNBC TV in Los Angeles. That means we all grew up watching and listening to Fritz and we want you to meet him up close and personal. There's way more to this man than the weather. What a great story. Louise Palanker, producer of our documentary who hosts a podcast with Fritz, makes a surprise appearance and things get a little wacky. It was a great visit with a great guy.

In 1973 one of the #1 records on the charts was "Heartbeat -It's a Lovebeat" by The DeFranco family featuring Tony DeFranco...a singing family of three brothers and two sisters from Canada who were to become the next singing family sensation in America from 1973-1977. Tony was destined for the teen mags and became a teen idol. Tiger Beat in particular would play a pivotal role in the history of the DeFranco family's rise to success. Everyone's story is compelling and full of unexpected twists and turns and the DeFranco family's story is no different. Hope you enjoy our visit as much as we did. Coming up - a new "Where's John?" episode - where we chase down our brother John as he chimes in from the road...he's out there with the Beach Boys and they seem to be back at full strength!!!!

It happened again!! We started out planning our Fenway Park National Anthem story and started talking and once again the time flew by so stay tuned for that episode it really is coming. Lots of guests to visit with still and we wanted to thank all of you for your support and suggestions. Remember you can contact us right here in the podcast studio with questions or answers at info@cowsill.com. "See" you next week!

From 1961 through the early seventies Cousin Brucie, with his voice drenched in his famous echo, and WABC radio in New York City, were on the frontline during the greatest musical explosion in the history of rock 'n roll...and he continues to this very day to entertain us, once again on WABC. Cousin Brucie was there representing all of us meeting face to face and side by side all the artists we only dreamed of getting to or near. The disc jockey who was a relative to us all, everybody's cousin Cousin Brucie, has a great story to share and a great career to cover. Even he said we'd need another episode or two to go over it all. We want you to meet one of the kindest, most influential icons of the music industry...a member of 3 halls of fame...a disc jockey who played the hits when they were hits and lasted long enough to play the same songs years later as "oldies". He's an incredible guy and we hope you enjoy meeting him...one of the great icons of radio, Bruce Morrow - Cousin Brucie.

It's just us folks. We came in with a plan to talk about our night at Fenway Park singing the National Anthem at game 3 of the AlCS between the Red Sox and Yankees. We would need the whole episode it's a doozy! But once we started the show we just talked about stuff and the time got away from us so we'll do that episode next. So we went on and on about this and that. You may even find yourself saying, "Why are they laughing? What did I miss? Was something funny?" It could happen. So have fun listening we had fun visiting. Hey next week we're gonna have COUSIN BRUCIE on as a guest. Yes we will be turning the tables on Cousin Brucie and interviewing HIM!! Too much fun coming!

This week we visit with Bo Donaldson of Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. Their big hits were 1974's "Billy Don't Be A Hero" and "Who Do You Think You Are". Bo and The Cowsills crossed paths when we signed on with the "Original Idols Live" tour in 2007. Bo was the musical director. A crazy combination of The Cowsills, Barry Williams, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, Leif Garrett, and the Bay City Rollers! Great stories from back then and hear why it is that Bo's first million-seller, "Billy Don't Be A Hero" only became a hit because "Mom Knew Best!

Song of the Week: Billy Don't Be A Hero

Hi everyone. We're just having a visit amongst ourselves this week so no guest. We ramble on about this and that and give you an update as to what's coming in 2022. A BIG YEAR!!!! Some "Cowsill Factoids" and a bit of Paul Pufferfish and some hijinks and tomfoolery. Enjoy the show enjoy the week ENJOY LIFE!!!

The Four Seasons, the Four Aces, the Four Tops, the Four Freshmen, the Four Lads...well today on "The Cowsill's Podcast" we are visiting with Bruce Belland of THE FOUR PREPS!!!! In terms of audience reaction to the Four Preps think Beatles and Frank Sinatra. They were mobbed after their concerts. Do you remember watching Ozzie and Harriett and waiting for Ricky Nelson to sing the song at the end of the episode? Remember the band that always stood there with Ricky? That's the Four Preps plus James Burton. That's Bruce Belland to Ricky's right. The Four Preps were Ricky's college buddies on the TV show. Imagine what is must have been like when your band is riding high and the Beatles arrive on the scene and change the whole landscape and there's no room for you anymore. We were new to the story of the Four Preps since they were a little before our time but it just blew us away so we wanted to have Bruce on to share his story with everybody and he was gracious to accept the invitation. You have to read his biography at brucebelland.com and you will be AMAZED! Remember "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)"? It sold 10 million records! That's The Four Preps!! Hope you enjoy the episode.

Song of the Week: A Letter To The Beatles by The Four Preps

Butch Patrick is synonymous with Eddie Munster and many of us remember "The Munsters" - the show about a "normal" family navigating society and all of it's preconceptions of family and family life. Hilarious. Butch Patrick played Eddie Munster, a child werewolf, while he was 7, 8 and 9 years old. Little did he know he would be associated with that role for the rest of his life. Listen in while Butch discusses his life, his professional career, the early days at Hollywood Professional School and hanging with Paul and Susan and, of course, "The Addams Family", his relationship with the other cast members and "Indiana Beach"...a Munsters amusement park coming in 2022!
