This came directly after another recent collaboration with Ray, Jessica, and Chris Jones, Dance Gravy.We'll hear a bit about the players... the song... and a brand new video for A Girl Named Disco to be released at the end of this edition of KVC-Arts. I'm sure I'll also be offering up congratulations to Benjiphonik having just hit number one on the Music Mafia Radio charts with Ain't Nothin' Wrong - a favorite FROM the beginning... though Ben thought it was a sleeper.LOVE seeing it get the attention it SO richly deserves!

Randy Rainbow - his real name - gained attention for his assemblage of fake phone calls, where he CREATES one end of the conversation, but then uses something REAL from some politician or celebrity’s interview, or in the case of Mel Gibson, his angry, drunken voicemail messages which ended up quite public several years ago.This one became RANDY RAINBOW IS DATING MEL GIBSON... and was the first to go viral. You can find a LOT of Randy through YouTube, his first book, PLAYING WITH MYSELF, his UPCOMING book, LOW HANGING FRUIT, or his comedy tours, which has him landing in Palm Desert at The McCallum Theatre October 11th and 12th.More at mccallumtheatre.org and randyrainbow.com,

They'll be celebrating adult learners with an anthology of their work on September 29th.
