How Many People Can Say...

...that David Bowie wrote a song about them (listen to Slip Away from his HEATHEN album)?

...that they had a TV show where they gave many well known entertainers their first television exposure (Bon Jovi, The Stray Cats, The Smithereens, Dramarama, Cyndi Lauper, and many others)?

Uncle Floyd can say all of that and more!

Join Uncle Floyd and his long-time friend and co-star, Scott Gordon, as they chat, reminisce, telling all the deep, dark, hidden stories of what it was like. They will joke around as well.

And, by the way, Scott Gordon is a musician, voice actor, audio engineer, and entertainment technology consultant. Scott learned electronics, recording, and even some guitar at the side of the legendary Les Paul from the time he was 14.
