The Not Old - Better Show

Howard Jones, Keyboardist Extraordinaire Interview Howard Jones is currently touring and will be in Leesburg, VA Nov 28, at the Tally Ho Theater. Tickets and information HERE. We caught up with Howard recently and talked ELP, his gear, his music and what's next for the pioneer keyboard artist. It was in 1983 that Howard Jones released his first single "New Song" in the UK. The expectation was that it might sell a few thousand copies and introduce his fresh new music to an unsuspecting world. The reality was quite different. The single steadily climbed the UK chart to peak at No. 3. Then came the second single "What Is Love?" which reached No. 2, and then Things Can Only Get Better", and the classic "No One Is To Blame", which reached No. 1 in the U.S. singles chart. Howard Jones, of course, is well-known for these and a series of colossal hit albums and 15 top-40 hit singles throughout the '80s and '90s. The British musician's work also played a pioneering role in the introduction and acceptance of synthesizers and sequencers in pop and rock recordings and performances. It would be easy for Jones to rest on his laurels and rely solely on performing his hits. However, that's simply not an option for him. Still active, still engaged, highly creative, Howard Jones will be in Leesburg, VA Nov 28, at the Tally Ho Theater. Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha.

Travel Hacking 101: How To Travel Longer for Less HoneyTrek, December 8, Smithsonian Associates: Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden Marion & Gustave Ring Auditorium 7th St & Independence Ave SW Metro: L'Enfant Plaza Tickets HERE. As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Art Of Living series, we are joined today by Mike and Anne Howard, of HoneyTrek. After a decade working nine-to-five, Mike and Anne Howard decided that life is short and their bucket list was long . . . so they quit their jobs, rented out their apartment, and embarked on a trip around the world. Five years later, they are still at it—traveling across seven continents and more than 50 countries. In a conversation rich with resources, the Howards—founders of the travel website HoneyTrek.com—share practical tips and industry trends illustrating how you can travel well for significantly less. The couple describe a more immersive and creative way to travel—where saving money is but one of the pleasurable benefits. From frequent flyer tickets to free lodging, no-cost volunteering, and hidden-gem destinations, they point out ways you can transfer from the "tourist track" and move out as a globetrotter—on any budget. For more from Mike and Anne, and HoneyTrek, and Travel Hacking, check out their presentation, December 8, 2016, Smithsonian Associates. Tickets and more details HERE. Enjoy.

Veterans Day Appreciation Show, Music, Marines & Air Force What does Veterans Day mean to me, a son and an uncle of 2 family members in the military? Veterans Day - a time to pay tribute and honor those who serve, and those who've served, and are still with us. Remember, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day are different. Memorial Day is to reflect and remember those who lost lives in service to their country. Confusing the two or combining the two diminishes the importance of both. As we express our appreciation on Veterans Day, many will find ways to celebrate and remember the sacrifices made by those in uniform in a manner that's personal. A Friend, Relative, or Neighbor who served comes to mind as we take a moment to reflect on what that person did to serve our Nation. There's actually a long line of those who served within my family tree and maybe yours too! Veterans Day means that we pause to remember those who came before us as well as those currently in uniform. Our rich history preserved by the stories they tell, which can be passed on from generation to generation. Many this week commented to me directly, or via social media their almost "shocked" reaction to our US presidential election. This veterans day, I want to thank all those who've served, and say, as many others have, how grateful I am for our hard fought freedoms, that include the democracy we cherish, and to have a chance to vote, good bad or indifferent. Today, I honor my father, Roger Vogelzang, who was an United State Air Force Captain, and a USAF physician, during the Korean Conflict, some would call war, but which ended in a cease fire. My nephew, Wyatt Vogelzang is currently serving in the US Marine Corp. To all Veterans – past, present, and future – I salute you, and thank you for your service.

Dr Arthur Lupia: Breaking Down, and "Unpacking" the 2016 Election, The Morning After... The Not Old Better Show, Art Of Living Series Welcome to the show, please, Dr Arthur Lupia. Dr Lupia has been with us previously, and was a big hit with audience, all over the globe. Dr Lupia has written an important book, titled: Un-Informed: Why People Seem to Know so Little about Politics, and What We Can Do About It? As we record this interview today with Dr Arthur Lupia, the stock market is bouncing back, but was down. Pres. Obama, who to some, was going to be the agent of change to restore hope in America, is being replaced by Pres. Elect Donald Trump, who's campaign material emphasized "Make America Great Again." Objectively, it's important to understand some of this, what's behind some of the results, what we can learn, and even consider is this a triumph of democracy, or the end of it? Dr Arthur Lupia will help us understand some of that today… Enjoy. Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Special Edition: Rob Kapilow, Pre Show Interview... Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living Series, NOB For this special edition, now our second conversation with "What Makes It Great," composer, conductor, lecturer, music expert, Rob Kapilow, I caught up with him just before he went onstage at the Baird Auditorium, where he unlocked the secrets of master songwriter Harold Arlen. This interview is a companion to our recent conversation with Rob, when we discussed the almost anonymous Arlen, whose vast songbook consists of more than 400 tunes such as Get Happy, Last Night When We Were Young, Stormy Weather, That Old Black Magic, and Over the Rainbow, which was voted the No. One song of the 20th century by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. The evening featured singers Michael Winther and Nikki Renee Daniels, both with steller voices, Broadway credits, and perfectly matched for the "Kapilow Versions," of the music they sing, while Rob plays. For more than a decade, Kapilow has brought the joys and wonder of music to audiences of all ages and backgrounds with his What Makes It Great? presentations, which dissect and examine the mysteries of music in terms everyone can grasp and appreciate. Part One is an entertaining discussion displaying Kapilow's astounding gift for observation and his animated teaching style. Part Two features performances of the composition, and audience sing-alongs. The evening concludes with Part Three, a spirited question-and-answer on the work. We caught up with Rob to ask him a few questions, listen to a bit of pre show rehearsal music, and before the audience and it was a treat. Enjoy.
