David Fleming

  • With 2026 being the Centennial year of the beginning of Route 66, there have been many celebrations of one kind or another. Amongst these, a documentary long in the making. David Fleming speaks with John Paget, the man behind The Main Street of America. This looks at the people and places along the way, capturing stories and feelings. Fascinating stories, and feelings that run deep.
  • The Rocky Horror Picture Show is now in its 51st year, and is touring across the US and Canada. David Fleming speaks with Barry Bostwick, who played Brad Majors in the 1975 film, about how he and Susan Sarandon joined the cast and felt like outsiders...which really worked to their advantage.
  • When Ray Russell was hired to replace Vic Flick as guitarist with John Barry - going on to record the next 7 James Bond themes, starting with The Man With the Golden Gun - they soon discovered he couldn't read music. Soon after, Dave Richmond, playing bass with the band started giving Russell lessons on their way to each gig. David Fleming speaks with Ray Russell along with more from Paul Brett, author of Finding Fretless: The Story of George Harrison's Mad Guitar.
  • David Fleming speaks with Kylie Molnar, choreographer for Footloose, running through August 2nd at Inland Valley Repertory Theatre in LaVerne.
  • Pop punk and Indy rock! More with SEPT with David Fleming in conversation with Ben Ochoa and Misa Lara continuing the exploration of their newest EP, High Garden! And with Bambi Marr in studio as well, we’ll hear about some of the video aspects for the new release, as well as touching on the video and inspiration for an earlier single, Braces.
  • We were first introduced to the pop punk band, SEPT almost 2 years ago to the day, talking about their self titled EP among others. We had Ben Ochoa, Misa LAra and Bambi Marr in the studio quite recently to talk about the newest release, High Garden, as well as some of the video work involved. The conversation was extended enough to cover two KVC-Arts, though each installment stands quite nicely. Between the two shows we touch a bit on each song in one way or another.
  • David Fleming continues his discussion with Tim Flores about the jazz fusion group, Kittyhawk. Thanks to Tim (and some incredible technology and tech support) we now have a live album from a group which stopped playing together long before the cd was released. The producing of the cd was an arduous process, as it required extracting and repairing recordings from some rather unusual sources. The result is "Kittyhawk: Reclaimed Bootlegs."
  • David Fleming speaks with Tim Flores about an idea he had - and then championed. The result was "Kittyhawk: Reclaimed Bootlegs," songs captured live through a variety of clandestine recordings during the heyday of this VERY unique jazz fusion group, featuring the Chapman Stick... and at times, two.
  • On Golden Pond, starring Judy Norton & Don Most opens the 2026 season of The Big Bear Theatre Project, running June 18th through the 28th. David Fleming speaks with Director Beth Wheat about the theatre, the show of course and how they ended up with Judy and Don - which ties into why The Big Bear Theatre Project is doing this show. We'll also hear JUST a bit on the scene in general around Big Bear and the lake.
  • Modern Natives: An Illustrated Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths. This is the latest from Andrea Grant. We'll hear more about this absolutely wonderful new book, as well as some of her work in the world of graphic novels, including some which explore and tell of some Native American mythology, as well as a REALLY cool Edgar Allen Poe adaptation (to name just a couple). We also heard a bit about Minx, Andrea's superhero alter-ego which initially came to us in 4 issues but is now assembled into a single book. Minx works her way into the Modern Natives book as well.
