On August 8, 2007, I will interview Gerd Leonhard, CEO - Sonific and Bob Patrick, Director - Veteran's History Project

Tomorrow, August 8, 2007, I will be hosting two shows back to back on New York Radio WVOX 1460 AM and www.wvox.com. At 11:30 AM-noon, Eastern Time, I will interview Gerd Leonhard - CEO, Sonific and co-author, The Future of Music on 'SCORE Radio: Counselors to America's Small Business'. Then, without missing a beat, from noon-12:30 PM, I will interview Robert W. ("Bob") Patrick, Director of the Veterans History Project (of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center).

I've posted about Sonific and the Veterans History Project before, but tomorrow will be my first on-air talk with the men who run those operations. Come join us, and feel free to talk with them, too!

You can hear and share in the show by phoning our call-in line: (01) 914 636 0110. If you're listening, we're listening. Talk with us!

The show is made possible, in part, by support from The Field (they grow art!) and USPS (they deliver!). We welcome your support, as well! Contributions, donations and sponsorships are tax deductible. Moreover, matching funds can double, even triple your money!

ON AIR: Atten Hut! Join Music Minister, Major Ouida Harding, and me at 1200 hours, Eastern Time on the 'Lisa Tolliver Show'

"Is there a doctor in the house?" is usually the call when one needs healing. And retired Army Major Ouida Waltryce Harding (affectionately known as "Major") made sure someone answered that call - sometimes answering it herself - throughout a 26-year career in the United States Army and Army Reserve.

"Is there music in your life?" is another call Major has long answered. As a musician (piano, organ), Chaplain Musician in the Army, church minister, clinician, musical director, support guest musician, prodigy, pioneer, and instructor, she has ministered to the spirits, souls and senses of diverse civilian and military audiences, off-air and worldwide. These are just three of the doctoral candidate's current roles:

• Minister of Music at Walker Memorial Baptist Church in the Bronx,
  
• Dean of Seminars and Training for the National Baptist Convention, and
  
• Founder of The Worship Arts Theological Training and Resource Center, Inc., which, her bio says "will serve as a conduit with a training mission to assist persons who serve in Music and Worship Leadership, but have not had the benefit of dedicated training to support their assigned task; serve as pastoral consultant; and "grow" bona fide church musicians, especially back home in the Harlem community where for her it all began."

There's so much more. But I'll wait for the show to sing like a canary. Come and witness this glorious guest!

Today, Major will minister to the Lisa Tolliver Show audience on air and online. Join us at 1200 hours, Eastern Time. Tune to New York Radio WVOX 1460 AM, listen live at WVOX.com, or hear and share via phone at (01) 914 636 0110.

ON AIR: My voice is back and so is the 'Lisa Tolliver Show'. Join us at high noon (ET) today.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY - My voice is back (hallelujah!) and so is the Lisa Tolliver Show. I'm taking full advantage by chatting up today's guests, callers and co-host Patricia Burgess (of Water Moon Arts) at high noon (Eastern Time). You can hear and share by tuning to New York Radio WVOX 1460 AM, streaming online at www.WVOX.com, or phoning our call-in line: (01) 914.636.0110.

Today's show should provide food for thought...and for the soul. It should also be a pod people pleaser.

My featured guest is best-selling author, motivational speaker and spiritual leader Mike George. His latest book is Don't Get MAD Get Wise: Why no one ever makes you angry, ever!Links to that, and some of his other books, are featured below. You might also want to check out Mike's RelaxCentre at www.relax7.com.

Today's listeners should also look forward to an update from Bruce Chambers. If you haven't read about him in Newsday's recent article, "Home is Where the Podcast Is," or any one of the other articles featuring website-design-savvy, music-loving podcasting experts then you might know him as the founder of Podcaster Who's Who and the Long Island Podcast Network (Long Island's fastest growing podcast station).

Old Bruce (pictured left, in the Newsday photo) has some new tricks up his sleeve, and I'll be involved with some of them. In his phone-in he'll dish some scoop about his new podcasting magazine (which I'll contribute to), an upcoming Podcamp (where I'll be a featured speaker), and more! Here's a hint: splish splash he'll be speaking at an upcoming podcruise. Stay tuned.

SPONSORSHIP: Thank you USPS. Check out what's new at www.usps.gov. Also, thank you to The Field. Check them out at www.thefield.org.

SCHEDULING NOTES: Our previously scheduled guest, Regina Howard from Dress For Success, will join us next month. In the interim, check out http://www.dressforsuccess.org/ and the organization's upcoming events. Also next month, we'll talk with (and meet via podcasts) three reknowned performing artists: dancer/choreographer Dario, musician/composer Patricia, and musician/educator Claire.###

It's that time again!

Yep, on April 11...

• The Lisa Tolliver Show airs at noon, ET on New York Radio WVOX 1460 AM and www.wvox.com,
  
• We're 11 days into National Poetry Month (access my National Poetry Month-related posts and show roundups), and
  
• We're 10 days into the 2007 baseball season (access my baseball-related posts and show roundups), and
  
• Most of us have survived 2007''s two biggest days of foolishness: April Fool's Day (April 1st) and the "Imus in the Morning" Fools' Day (April 4), which like scene from Groundhog Day or the Energizer bunny, seems to keep going and going. Regarding the latter, the question is: what will be the fates of the "wrinkled-up old buzzard" of broadcasting, Don "I-man" Imus, and his "bald-headed stooge," producer-sidekick Bernard McGuirk?
  

POST-SHOW ROUNDUP: Today's Lisa Tolliver Show guest was composer Patricia Burgess (who "daylights" with The Field), and accompanied me to PodCampNYC. Also scheduled - but unable to join us - was Bruce from Long Island, who founded Podcaster Who's Who and the Long Island Podcast Network. Today's "hearty" emergency preparedness & safety tip addresses cardiac health.

A MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF OUR SPONSOR: The 23rd Honoree in the United States Postal Service “Literary Arts” series is poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. For baseball and history lovers, the USPS Commemorative Stamps Program also offers a Baseball Sluggers series, which features Roy ("Campy") Campanella, "Hammerin' " Hank Greenberg, switch-hitter Mickey Mantle, and high-kicker Mel Ott.

NEXT SHOW(S) HEADS-UP: Join me again on April 25 via New York Radio WVOX 1460 AM, www.wvox.com or the call-in line at (01) 914.636.0110.

IN THE INTERIM: if you're listening, I'm listening. Talk with me!
