On this edition of KVC-Arts we have David Fleming in conversation with Colin Mochrie. Known mainly for his nearly two decades with "Who's Line Is It Anyway," we'll hear about the show, how he even got into improv in the first place, and a NEW show coming to Agua Caliente on June 22nd.

David Fleming chats with country singer James Dupre. We'll hear a bit about his past, with a focus on how he became acquainted with, and close to, the family of Randy Travis. In addition to performing lead vocals with the Randy Travis Band, it was Dupre's voice, combined with AI technology and a number of filters, which lent itself to a new song FROM Randy Travis, even though Travis is unable to perform under normal circumstances due to a stroke. The first song recorded using AI was "Where That Came From," released in May of 2024.

SUCH a pleasure to speak with John Cafiero! The first time I encountered him was when he produced "Dr. Demento Covered in Punk!" Presented as a radio program in two discs, it features classic Dr. Demento artists doing punk songs, along with punk bands performing Dr. Demento staples! SO good! One of the bands on Dr. Demento covered in Punk was Cafiero's band, Osaka Popstar ... and I quickly became a big fan! I interviewed John again when he released Osaka Popstar and the American Legends of Punk, along with a REALLLLLLY cool EP, Ear Candy, containing the Osaka Popstar amped up but true to the original take on "I Think I Love You," "Sugar, Sugar," and more. We spoke again quite recently to talk about a comic he and his wife produce, Sweetie Candy Vigilante, and the Osaka Popstar release of the tune go along with Volume 2 Issue #3, coming in June, I believe. The song is an Osaka Popstar'd take on an old children’s song we once got from Rosemary Clooney!?!

David Fleming speaks with Jane Kirkpatrick, author of 41 books, including "The Healing of Natalie Curtis." This is a work of historical fiction about a woman who helped preserve the music, dance and language of Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Tribes at a time when many sought to ban such things.

Great Puns... Word origins... Legends & Lore... and some bread named for a certain kind of guy passing gas! David Fleming speaks with Judy Tschann about her recent book, "Romaine Wasn't Built In a Day - The Delightful History of Food Language." The conversation was extensive - and delightful indeed. It was extensive enough that it'll serve up material for TWO KVC-Arts. The first gives us a breakdown of different types of pasta - renamed because "choke priest, ears, and pile of worms" weren't exactly flying off the menu. Breaking a fast being the action behind not only breakfast, but dinner as well? And just when DO we eat those? We'll get one of David's favorite compound words (other people have favorite compound words too... right?), and we'll also get the history of the English language in 6 minutes and 10 seconds.More at judithtschann.com

David Fleming speaks with Yngwie Malmsteen, one of the forerunners and driving forces behind neo-classical hard rock or metal. That’s not to disregard Ritchie Blackmore, of Deep Purple and Rainbow.

We'll also hear about much of his history, including his first solo release, as well as the band which got him to the US from Sweden. More at yngwiemalmsteen.com
