Hey everybody everywhere in podcastland!  We've been on a roll just visiting each other and going over this and that.  Next week we'll have our brother John on and get caught up with all that he has going on which is a lot!  Hope to see some of you in Kearney, Nebraska on May 2nd and Hutchinson, Kansas on May 3rd.  We're opening for the Association there we love those guys!!!!

Hi everybody we are back from the cruise and it was fanTAStic!  Thank you to all of you who visited and shared your stories and experiences with us while cruising the Atlantic.  We're back and getting ready for Vegas this Friday at the Golden Nugget so maybe see some of you there!

We are out somewhere on the Atlantic ocean folks.  Probably in our first port, Jamaica, on the Flower Power cruise. We hope you enjoy our "cruise" episode we recorded before we left port.  See you next week back on dry land!

eng||Hey everybody we are here chatting away about many things although it's hard to remember what we talked about after we've talked about it.  We guess you'll just have to listen.  Next week we are on the Flower Power Cruise so look for a special "cruise" episode then.  Enjoy!

Hey everybody we just got back from Havre de Grace, Maryland and one of the funnest gigs ever.  We met Phlash Phelps and hung out friday night with him at dinner event.  We had a  blast so sit back and give a listen.  Love you all!!!

Hi everyone. We know this one is late and other times we have missed the Wednesday deadline for new episodes but sometimes stuff happens. Anyway, no guest this week just the ramblings of 3 siblings who have a lot to say about nothing so hope you enjoy the episode see you next week on time!

Hey everyone we're still on a high after two episodes with Artie Kornfeld so this week we decided no guest, take a deep breath, and fill folks in on what's happening with The Cowsills.  We cover lots of territory hope you enjoy the episode we certainly enjoyed doing it.  See you all soon.  Remember, just go to YouTube, type in the Cowsills Podcast and you are off and running with 165 episodes up on demand.  That's called a library folks!!

We had such a great visit with Artie Kornfeld last week but we never got to touch on Woodstock, the true legacy of this great man.  So this week we invited Artie back to have a very cool Woodstock conversation and what a tale it is. Enjoy this one folks it's a beauty!!

Well folks it only took 164 episodes to get to one of the most important figures in the history of The Cowsills and here he is.  To put it bluntly without Artie Kornfeld there would have never been a famous musical family called The Cowsills on any charts anywhere no matter how good we were.  Artie was the key to it all.  Artie Kornfeld is way more than his Woodstock legacy indicates and The Cowsills were an early success for this amazing artist in his own right.  Sit back and listen to this rock historian talk about a lot of this 'other stuff' - in fact we got to talking about so much stuff we never got to Woodstock....so next week we will have 'Artie Kornfeld-the Woodstock episode'....enjoy!!

One man, one voice, one guitar... Big sound!'. That describes singer-songwriter Hal Bruce everybody he is a one-man, multi-decade, singer songwriter with an amazing history and one of the most amazing repertoires out there. He actually once performed a live medley of 214 Beatle songs without stopping...yes it included #9.  Enjoy the visit everyone!!!

Well today we decided to visit with each other and our brother John and and all caught up on the family and who's going through what.  We discuss the fires the future and everything in between.  Wasn't Little Anthony awesome?  See you soon with even more guests.  Enjoy our family visit!

Well everybody we hope you enjoy visiting with our guest this week John "Papa" Gros, the great New Orleans ambassador of not only it's music but it's lifestyle, history and importance.  What a history and it is still unfolding.  Check him out before you listen even and you'll love the sounds and influences you hear.  You'll also see a very familiar drummer in these videos!  Okay everybody until next week...we love you all!!!!

Well the Happy Together Tour has come to an end for another summer.  It was quite dramatic and you will enjoy the recounting of what happened at the Minnesota State Fair as we take you right through the end with the Washington State Fair show and a fun recap of the shows that ended our 10th consecutive summer tour.  We will be going out again next summer and they're even adding 10 more shows!  Enjoy the episode and we look forward to having many guests in future episodes and this podcast train is going to keep on rolling!!!

Hello everybody we have a very special guest today radio legend Mike Kirtner.  Mike became a fan of the podcast and we think you'll enjoy his reaction to it and what he came up with and implemented.  From the podcast we ended up launching a weekly radio show, "The Cowsill Chronicles", on 97.9 the River out of West Virginia you can download the app. Enjoy everyone we just ended the summer tour and a big fall/winter and spring are heading our way!

Hello everyone we have only 6 days left on our summer Happy Together Tour!!!  Wow!  No guest today but we share some great stories.  You can find out who started the bus fire on the band's tour bus and who is credited for saving everyone's lives.  We also explain why Howard Stern still doesn't like us and won't talk with us.  I guess we're in a long feud.  Also we address our "forced" night off at a casino in Michigan because they don't like "Indian Lake" and they don't like us.  Even our family band is banned from playing there.  Okay everybody have a great end of summer see you next week!!!

Hello everyone from Zydeco land. We're back with our first guest in a while Grammy award winning artist Terrance Simien.

Hi everybody.  We're getting ready to head up to San Juan island off the coast of Washington for our gig at the Honeywell estate and Friday Harbor this weekend.  Here's a short visit as we wind through all of that and head back out on to the Happy Together Tour.

Well everybody we have finally come up with a new guest this week....OUR BROTHER JOHN!!!!!!  He's not a Beach Boy, he'll aways be a Cowsill, he's not an Action Skuller, he isn't missing, no more "Where's John?"episodes so what's up?  Well he is here with us and we had a heck of a visit. He's got a little "I'm here to claim my legacy" kind of thing going on but this bro has a LOT so say!.  So listen in as we go down the John Lane, talk over each other, and find out what he and his lovely wife (Vicki Peterson of "The Bangles" for the uninitiated) are up to.  We also travel through some old Cowsill territory and do some revisiting about thises and thats. Hope you enjoy see you next week!!!!

Hey everyone as you know we're out here on the Happy Together Tour for the summer.  Sometimes we hit a snag on the road and production of our podcast gets interrupted due to road circumstances...such as this week (and last).  Rather than let the same episode run another week we thought it would be fun to focus on our very first episode and return that one to the top of the heap for enjoyment.  There's no video (that came later) so audio only. Next week we will be back with our regularly scheduled program. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!

Hi everybody!! We're doing great out here on the Happy Together Tour having great shows with great audiences.  Today we visit about life at Halidon Hall, the mansion on the hill in Newport, Rhode Island where we lived just before we moved to New York.  We were on the cusp of making it big and we have a lot of fun memories to share with you about life in Newport c. 1965-1966.

Hello everybody we've been asked to continue through our historical walk through the different places we've lived and what life was like in them. Today we cover life in Ohio circa 1958, 59, 60, 61. Susan is not on this episode as she was born in Ohio and we left when she was three so there's no memories.... if she does have any we'll talk with her about that next week.  Enjoy the episode we're out on "The Happy Together" tour so we'll be talking about that soon.

Well folks we are heading out for our summer tour, our 10th Happy Together Tour.  So exciting to still be going and still be at it.  We had such fun last week describing our life in Santa Monica when we arrived in late 1968 on top of the world we thought we'd continue the theme this week and next even.  Today we talk some about life on Indian Avenue in Middletown, Rhode Island in the mid-sixties when we were forming the band and coming of age.  Hope you enjoy the episode and next time you'll hear from us we'll be out there on the road!  Bye for now!

Hi everybody we thought it would be fun to visit with you about life in Santa Monica when we moved out there from New York I'm City in 1968-69.  We were living on top of the world.  We cover a lot of this and that and it's a lot of fun hope you enjoy the episode

Hello all this week's guest hails from Canada and they are the power rock pop group The Kings.  The Kings made their mark in the early 80's and have not stopped and currently are promoting their 2024 album/CD release "The Longest Story Ever Told".   We hope you enjoy this visit with one of Canada's great rock bands as we travel a long and winding road through their career as songwriters and performers.  The story that takes place in Denver, The Kings first American concert opening for Jeff Beck, is absolutely priceless and very rock 'n roll!

Wow that was some interview last week with Frank Stallone that was a long episode thanks for hanging in on that one great conversation. Today no guest we're just chatting it up a bit we'll get back to guesting next week. We're getting ready to head out to North Tonawanda to perform Saturday night looking forward to that ...enjoy life wherever you are thanks for chiming in and listening and viewing and see you next week if not tonight

We had a great time at the California Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony everyone.  One of the highlights of our evening was meeting Frank Stallone.  What a gentleman!  We had such a nice encounter that Frank was amenable to guesting on our podcast so today we have a great visit to share with you with Frank Stallone.  What a story and what a nice guy.  We hope you enjoy this very fun conversation.

Hi folks this week we are visiting the family band COMPASS who hail from Canton, Ohio. They are 16 yr old Arianna and her 2 younger brothers Harrison on guitar (ahead of his time he's so good) and Johnny their 10 year old drummer (who started drumming at age 7 sound familiar anyone?) and then Constantine who will be playing keyboards when he gets a little older. Of course we felt we were interviewing a younger version of The Cowsills...it was awesome.  Enjoy and please support this great family. Next week another great guest thanks so much everybody!

Hi everyone!  Well the eclipse eclipsed our hopefully planned guest this week when the family band, COMPASS, found themselves smack dab in the middle of the "path of totality" for the solar eclipse and our episode was scheduled to tape smack dab in the middle of that eclipse so we will visit our family band next week because that would have been a big miss for the family. We can't wait to visit with them and see what's up. In the meantime please enjoy our ramblings about this and that.

Hi everybody WE ARE BACK FROM OUR TWO CRUISES!!  We tried podcasting from the cruise ship but to no avail.  So we let the rehearsal episode run while we were away hope that was okay.  We had a blast and talk about that and other things.  We have lots of guests to get to in 2024 and we will be starting that next week.  For now we wanted to just catch you up on things and give you a report on the cruises and what's coming at us in 2024.  Thanks for hanging in everyone!

Hello everybody we're heading to Miami today heading out to sea tomorrow on the Celebrity Summit for the back to back 70's and 60's cruises! In today's episode we share one of our rehearsals.  As we're working up these new songs we thought we'd share what some of that work looks like so you're going to hear lousy mixes, singing that is not real serious yet, one-angle camera....we're just searching through the songs putting them together and we thought you'd enjoy seeing part of that process!!!
