A Plug for My Good Friend, Bill Mellberg!

Well hello again, loyal readers (both of you). :Þ

I thought I'd mix thing up a bit and bring to your attention the most excellent political humor and musical accompanyment provided by good friends, Bill Mellberg and Kent Wehman.

Bill is a long-time friend of the family and one of the best comedians and voice impersonators in the business. Kent is so talented a musician that any musician worth his salt admires his chops.

Together they have been touring the country with their unique show, "Evening with the Presidents".

THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2004 you can hear them together on the graddaddy of all superstations, WGN Radio. You can listen live on the internet and on the AM dial at 720 in the Midwestern United States. Here are all the details as provided by Bill. Please check it out!

Political humorist Bill Mellberg, accompanied by pianist Kent Wehman, will be
bringing "AN EVENING WITH THE PRESIDENTS" to WGN Radio this Friday night,
November 12th, from 9PM to 11PM (Central Time).


They will be Milt Rosenberg's guests once again on his 'Extension 720' program -- a Chicago institution for more than 35 years.

WGN is located at 720 on the AM radio dial, and it can also be heard live over the Internet at www.wgnradio.com

During the second hour, listener calls and e-mails will be welcomed. Throughout
the program, Mellberg and Wehman will be serving up their lighthearted,
bipartisan political humor ... "doing our best to bring America together!" as Mellberg puts it.

Among the "Presidents" appearing that evening will be George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and the late presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. Also on-hand will be presidential wannabes John Kerry, Bob Dole and Ross Perot, plus a host of other characters such as Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Richard Daley, Jimmy Stewart, Jack Benny, Johnny Carson, Rodney Dangerfield, Julia Child and many more.

It'll be another fun evening when "The Presidents" visit Milt Rosenberg this Friday evening! We hope you'll have a chance to listen in ... and to call in!

Call-in guests can reach the show at: 1-312-591-7200
Listeners can also e-mail comments/questions to:
Extension720@tribune.com

WGN Radio is owned by the Tribune Broadcasting Company, and Friday
night's program will be broadcast from Studio One in the Tribune Tower
on Michigan Avenue in the heart of beautiful downtown Chicago.
Tune in for a merry mix of humor and music!

Is there any chance of tracking Bill down? My 84 year old father met him in Chicago a couple of years ago. Dad's heading for Chicago this week and would dearly love to re-connect with him.
Now I know that this goes way beyond the comic call of duty but would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks from Ottawa, Canada

Hi John.

It's not place to hand out his contact info, not knowing who you are and all, but you can e-mail me and I can forward his e-mail address your way.

You can also do a Google search on his name. I know he's listed. ;)
