Ted Woloshyn Podcast

One of the greatest comedy writers and producers, Canada’s Allan Blye, died earlier this month. Recently I had a chance to speak with his brother Garry, another successful writer/producer, about Allan’s Emmy award winning work with the Smothers Brothers, Dick Van Dyke, Bob Einstein, Sonny and Cher, and his close friendship with Elvis Presley, and Mr. Rogers. He also shared stories of Allan’s passion for music, especially as a cantor.

Musician, broadcaster, photographer, empresario, and author Bill King talks about his latest book ‘Rollin’ Through the ‘70s. Weed, Woman and Song’. It’s a compelling collections of tales. From being mentored by jazz legend Oscar Peterson, to working dive bars, then in Las Vegas; as the musical director for the Pointer Sisters when they performed on Carol Burnett’s stage show. There’ a hilarious story about getting comedian Robert Klein stoned on Bombay Black, and another on opening for Howdy Doody and a vey inebriated Buffalo Bob, all the while trying to fit into Canada as an undocumented person.
