LEXINGTON, Ky. (January 10, 2024) – Monday, January 15, 2024 will mark Lexington's 51st anniversary of the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a US Federal holiday that honors the birth, life and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and is also the only national holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage Americans to volunteer for opportunities to improve their communities in a variety of ways. As a member of the Lexington-Fayette MLK Holiday Celebration Committee for the past 13 years, Jay Alexander has been intimately involved with the planning and service surrounding the Celebration event. Alexander, the programming and music director for WBTF-FM in Lexington, believes the commemoration of Dr. King's work shouldn't be limited to only one day, and he sees that year-round community service active with many of the churches and community groups that take part in the celebration. For a community he has come to know and love, he feels it's a tremendous opportunity to serve and to bring awareness that the struggle is not over. “I have said this time and time and time again, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We would not be where we are today,” Alexander says, “without the fight and the struggle of the John Lewis's and the Martin Luther King's, those who got down and did the battle.” Alexander joins this week's ‘Behind the Blue' to talk about this year's event. The theme for the 2024 MLK Celebration is “MLK in 2024: Eyes Off the Prize?”, and he says that's the question Dr. Kevin Cosby, president of Simmons College in Louisville will be answering as the keynote speaker. Making a return appearance this year will be the Uniting Voices Chicago choir, who will be joining the Uniting Voices Lexington, a new group that has come together just this year under the leadership of Michael Preacely, DMA. The event will also see the awarding of two full-year scholarships, one to Bluegrass Community and Technical College and one to Kentucky State University. If you're interested in more information regarding the Lexington-Fayette Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Holiday Program, visit uky.edu/mlk. The annual Freedom March will begin at 1 p.m. on Monday, January 15th, and concludes with the Commemorative Program held at the Central Bank Center at 2 p.m. The march begins and ends at the Central Bank Center in downtown Lexington.

Derzeit steckt Marc noch mitten im künstlerischen Prozess. Seit neustem spielt er auch Theater; in Gernsbach/Hilpertsau in der „Alten Turnhalle“ das Stück „Kunst“.

Am Anfang der Sendung haben sich beide darauf geeinigt, dass sie auf badisch schwätzen. Jay studierte Operngesang an der Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe. Instrumente spielt er von Klein auf, aber das Geld für sein Studium verdiente er schon früh selbst bei Gesangswettbewerben. Er weiß es sehr zu schätzen, mit seiner Stimme und mit Musik Geld verdienen zu dürfen. Für ihn ist singen etwas erotisches. Oft hat er im Studio oder auf der Bühne diese magischen Moment, die sich anfühlen wie Sex - die süchtig machen. Jay hat auch wie er sagt "was ordentliches" gelernt um abgesichert zu sein; den Beruf des Druckers. Derzeit arbeitet Jay an einer CD mit Kathy Kelly von der "Kelly Family". Diese hat er, soweit es Corona zugelassen hat, in Leipzig aufgenommen. Neben der Musik ist Jay Alexander ein Familienmensch und gerne mit seinem Hund "Charlotte" unterwegs. Außerdem interessieren ihn auch Männerthemen wie alte Autos oder Uhren. "Alter Scheiß kaufen und herrichten" macht er gerne. Vor kurzem hat er bei "Bares für Rares" eine alte Leichenwagenkutsche verkauft. Ihn freut es außerdem sehr, wenn er sich sonntags morgen selbst bei "SWR4" im Radio hört; für Jay ist Radio ein tolles Medium.

In one of the most versatile careers on record, Richard Jay-Alexander has pretty much done it all. Starting first as a PA on Broadway, then moving his way up to stage manager, it was his collaboration with uber-producer Cameron Mackintosh where Richard really thrived, becoming the Associate Director and Executive Producer of a new show called Les Miserables. Together, they led the revolution of how a Broadway musical is produced and viewed by global audiences. As if that wasn't enough, Richard is the foremost "diva whisperer", having directed the concerts of Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Kristen Chenoweth, and countless others. Now, he is sitting down with Rob and Kevin to look back on it all. Richard pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how best to create and direct a one person show, what it was like seeing Les Miserables for the first time (grab tissues for this one), and why honesty is always the best policy.....always! Also, Richard shines the spotlight on Lea Salonga, Norm Lewis, and Bernadette Peters!

I'm currently taking a holiday break from my regularly scheduled episodes, so for the next few weeks, I'm running my six most downloaded episodes. I'll be back on the first of the year with brand new episodes! In the mean time, enjoy these "Best of" episodes. In this episode I talk to magician Jay Alexander! We talk all about various methods that Jay uses to market his business, encourage word of mouth, build relationships with his clients, and customize his shows! Jay Alexander is one of the top corporate and society entertainers in the country and one of the highest paid magical performers in the industry. Jay started his career early performing for the patrons of his parent’s shoe store. At the age of 14 he won the Society of American Magicians Gold Medal of Honor. He now creates customized shows for Fortune 500 companies. Some of his corporate clients include Apple, Cisco, Lucas Films, Bank of America, Kaiser Permanente, Coca Cola, and Chrysler. He’s also performed at private parties and events for the likes of Robin Williams, The Rolling Stones, and Duran Duran. In the words of Ron Wood from the Rolling Stones, “Jay is the best magician I have ever seen!"   Success Mantra: Under-promise and over-deliver.     Failure Story: Tells about not quite understanding the market he was targeting and how he created a very specific character called "Moishe the All-Kosher Magician" which didn't work at all for his target market. He learned a very important lesson of knowing your market.   Favorite Success: The time he made a young girl smile who hadn't shown a smile in at least eight years while performing magic at a school for autistic children.     What's worked well for Jay's business? Having a great show, word of mouth, and having something easy for the audience to remember about his show. (Ammar's adage: KISS - Keep It Slogan Simple)     Interesting Story from the Road Listen to a fun story involving Jay at the Fillmore with the Rolling Stones, and Card on the Ceiling.     Biggest Professional Challenge Staying relevant as he's becoming "The Old Guy."     What would Jay have done differently? Collaborated with more people and got more advice early on.     Parting Advice Learn how to manage your money.   Other Topics Covered • You get ahead by working harder than everyone else. • The magic isn't about you, or even your audience. It's about the Guest of Honor, or the person that hired you. It's your job to make them look great! • Every moment from the time the client calls to the moment Jay sends the thank you card is planned and intentional. It's all part of the Jay Alexander experience. • Going out into the audience right after his show to spend time with them, take pictures and do a little closeup magic. • How he follows up with contacts even if he doesn't get their business. • Word of mouth and getting video testimonials. • Customizing his shows for his clients: Facebook is your friend! • Getting your audience to remember you. • Getting inspiration by watching bands and how they structure their concerts.     Recommended books and resources: Note: Many of the links in this section are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small portion of any sales.

I had the wonderful honor of talking with magician Nick Lewin! One of the main things we talked about was corporate magic. We also talked about putting a twist on magic classics and there was was even a little performing advice taken from Billy McComb! Nick Lewin is a magician, comedian, actor, host, and keynote speaker from Austin Texas, originally from London. He's certainly run the gamut, being featured on countless TV shows as both a magician and actor, he’s performed for English royalty, presidents, hollywood celebrities, and fortune 500 companies. Companies like Apple, AMD, AT&T, Bank of America, Coca Cola, General Electric, and Nutrasweet. He’s also been featured in top showrooms around the country including Vegas with his One Man Show and has also performed on every premium cruise line. In addition to this, he also finds time to create products for and teach the magic industry, contributing his thoughts to multiple outlets, on the industry, performance, and business. Entertainment Today says “Lewin blends impeccable sleight of hand with a razor sharp British wit.”     Success Mantra: Work a lot! To be a successful performer, you need to perform.     Failure Story: During a show, one of his props got moved and as a result, he wash't able to perform that routine. He learned to always have a backup ready for anything.     Favorite Success: Meeting and performing for the man who invented the MP4 codec.     Corporate Magic! • Customizing or personalizing your show for your client. • Making the company president look good. • It's possible to expand things and make the show bigger, e.g.. Hire other acts or close-up workers. • Producing larger shows. • How to pitch the client. • How Nick uses a card trick to instantly change the atmosphere of a client meeting and tip things in his favor. • Going down into the crowd after performing an after dinner show to do close-up magic and mingle with the audience. Just like Jay Alexander talked about! • Getting repeat bookings. • Be a "mentalist" at client meetings. (This advice and a little more corporate advice shows up at the end of the show.)     Biggest Professional Challenge Keeping his act fresh. He talks about what Bob Dylan does to make each show different.   Parting Advice Know what you do, know what your client wants, and be there to fill their need.   Other Topics Covered • Talks about how he created the concept for an afternoon family magic show in Vegas. • Putting a twist on classics of magic and gves an example how how he uses a different approach to the Newspaper Tear (a variation on Elmsley's version). • Connecting with the audience. • Some advice he received from Billy McComb: Don't waste anything up front. Do enough to get your audience's attention, then wow them with the good stuff! • Don't finish your show with anyone up on stage with you.     Recommended books and resources: Note: Many of the links in this section are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small portion of any sales.
