Comments: I have been a journalist since the mid 1980s, columnist and radio host for Blakeradio/Blogtalk (6-7 years)and Soul Interviews in Sweden (1.5 years). I have interviewed entertainers, politicians, and people of note. I've howled with George Clinton, been pinched by Melvin van Peebles, giggled with Connie Francis and recited poetry to Oscar Brown, Jr., all in good fun. Talk to any radio host and they will tell you there is nothing more excruciating then having a monosyllabic guest. Richard Skipper is definitely not that. Radio folks love talkers and interesting ones at that. Mr. Skipper is charming, interesting and a guest who has a wealth of info to share. I will have him back again to share Judy Garland with my listeners next time. Interested parties can catch the "Topically Yours" show with Richard at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/blakeradio. Thanks for the a peppy and lively show Richard. You were lots of fun. Deardra Shuler
City, State: Bogota, NJ Comments: Your interview on July 20 was terrific! Your knowledge of the musical theater and the American Variety stage is "spot on" and your comment on the variety art form being one of the last entertainments to accommodate a diversity of audience was very astute. Equally as wonderful was your genuine enthusiasm and energy. Your commitment to the performance arts is a valuable commodity. I look forward to seeing you in concert soon. JOANN

I've taken part in the midweek evening at the Iguana Club a couple times now. it is always entertaining. great mix of music from lots of different performers. you're bound to hear something you weren't expecting and be exposed to something new that you will like.

City, State: NYC Comments: Last night was my first time at Iguana and somehow my music note T-shirt, noticed by Dana. just got me up on stage and there I was singing...only because the warmth of your space and you and Dana make the Iguana experience like a family get together. I am so thrilled to be singing with you July 28 and look forward to bringing my world to your world! Gloria Waldman, NYC |
