red and green like Christmas sugar sprinkles on top.

Dynamite cake my mom used to make.

Conrad said ice cream cake, which is also an outstanding choice.

You can also text us on the app, or if you're watching the radio on the stream, drop us a stream comment.

We will get to your text in just a bit.

But right now, this is kind of cool.

I heard about this really great event happening.

Madison tomorrow night and I just I think I'm gonna let my guests explain it because it's it's about a bio they're making a TV show a biography TV show and it's tomorrow nights

Tomorrow Night's gathering is sponsored by Vintage, the Vintage Store in Madison.

It's on the south side of Madison.

And we have with us now from the Vintage Store, Jay Henley, and the executive producer of From the Front Row, Peter Allen.

So these guys are collaborating on this really cool thing.

And there's going to be a great event tomorrow night.

So guys, welcome.

It's great to have you.

Happy to be here.

Hello.

And congratulations.

Pete Schwaba

No one has ever made me stutter over what is happening or this event.

So I really do have to let you guys explain it because it's not something I see too often.

You're going to film something at the Overture Center.

J, you own a vintage store.

You're sponsoring it.

Is that how this is working?

Yeah, the vintage store is the bounty here in Madison on South Park Street.

And yeah, I am a host for artistic endeavors.

And Peter and I chatted a few months ago and I knew what Peter was up to.

I'm like, let's do a screening at the bounty.

I think it would be a kind of a fun venue for you to do your thing.

So this is

an episode premiere.

So we are currently

um working on a television series it's an independently produced public television music series

Pete Schwaba

okay

um that will be nationally syndicated coming in the following year we got picked up by a national distributor um congratulations big three thank you or um one of the big three of public television who do the national syndication of it

yeah and

this is episode that we recorded at the overture center with

Greg Zellick playing that huge, whatever, 176 ton organ.

Yeah.

And also with a duet with Mark Hetzler, the trombone professor.

And it's kind of, you know, it's a 30 minute television music program where we go to a different venue each episode and film a recording of performance, but then also interview the

purveyors of the space or the curators of the space and talk about Kind of dive into the community behind the the location the line I use all the time is music is a lot like water it takes the shape of the place it's in so We the whole point of this it's kind of a travel show mix with a music show you go to a venue you record a session there and then you talk with the people make who

put the venue together or are curating the space.

In this case, it's the Symphony Hall, the big, beautiful organ.

We talk with the Symphony director and with Mark as well, the curator of the organ series.

And this event that we're doing here at the Bounty tomorrow at 4 PM is the premiere of the episode that we've worked very hard on.

We recorded last year.

spent many hours in an editing booth, you

know, making

it just a perfect 26 minutes and 46 seconds, as is PBS is wanting us to deliver.

And yeah, it's a big thing.

It's a nationally syndicated program celebrating the joys and beauties of what artists in this community is making.

And we'll be sharing, we've done episode at the Borough.

Yeah, don't mess with them.

And then, and we have an episode we filmed at the Cardinal Bar as well with the Latin Jazz Night they do there.

So this is, this will be a celebration of us getting to show the world this episode.

And if listeners are interested, they can come on down to the Bounty South Park Street.

1041 South Park Street.

It'll be 4 p.m.

tomorrow.

Seating is limited, but we can squeeze in.

You're more than welcome.

It's a really wonderful space that Jay has curated here too.

Every time I walk in the door, there's someone doing chalk drawings, floor-to-ceiling chalk drawings in the back, or just all these beautiful little bits and bobs.

It's like walking into an art museum.

Pete Schwaba

I was looking at the store online, and I love, it's so unique.

I mean, I've been in

tons of vintage or, you know, vintage and vintage clothing stores, but I don't think any of them have had a resident artist.

Like, I just think that's such a great idea.

Tell us about your store a little more, Jay.

Yeah.

So, you know, I often am challenged with the two minute elevator speech to say what the bounty is about.

And I think it really kind of boils down to I collect stories and

And stories, people are attached, objects are attached, things are attached.

So I take great pride in telling stories.

So part of the name of the business is the bounty environmental narratives.

Kind of a heady word of just basically saying, I tell a story in a space.

And with that comes supporting the creative community around me.

When I opened the shop two years ago, I wanted to interact with creatives in Madison, provide a platform for them to do their thing, like be creative, design, have a space that they could come and showcase their work.

And what that turned into was me realizing that I can sell things to keep the lights on, but really what I

and after is the community and connecting these artists with the local community and connecting the community with these artists.

So I kind of refer to the Bounty as a community center here on South Park Street.

Very

much

a third space

for my opinion.

It's exactly kind of goes...

tied in with our mission as our show, this idea of these places where people come together and share art or just see each other's presence.

It's really cool.

It's a match made in heaven in my opinion.

I think it's that's

Pete Schwaba

what attracted me to this whole thing was like the collaboration between the two of you.

I had at first I was having trouble wrapping my head around and I kept asking Jay.

All right.

Now what's happening?

He's coming in, but it's not at the Overture Center.

It's at your store.

I think it's fantastic.

Jay Henley is here.

He is the owner of the vintage store, The Bounty in Madison on South Park Street.

And he is sitting right next to the executive producer of From the Front Row, Peter Allen.

Peter, where did you get the?

The idea for this for this show.

Did you shoot a pilot on spec and pitch it to PBS?

How did this happen?

We well, yeah, we were It was kind of my long-term dream on I have a show on WRT, you know, I've been in the broad I have my day job as I'm a back-end engineer for public television So I've been surrounded by I've been doing in studios my whole life, you know getting fans in the studio and making them up and I was kind of

dreaming about how to do it in a visual way.

But I've never really, I literally was at a party barn show and just kind of sitting there thinking, looking around at what a wonderful venue and what a wonderful experience and like how do you, I don't think anyone's really capturing this in this way.

No one's formatting a show like it.

And then kind of the,

the stars aligned and our partner in crime with this, their executive director, Claire Canapel, who she's the executive director, I'm the executive producer.

She was approached by Buzz Kemper, who owns Audio for the Arts, which is a prominent recording studio in town.

And they had just bought a bunch of 4K cameras.

And I had literally, the night before,

he came to her, described to Claire, my dream of starting like an Austin City Limits style like television.

Yeah.

Oh, that's great.

And I was raised on Austin City Limits.

Like my dad would record Austin City Limits and then watch it the morning before cartoons.

I remember waking up as a kid.

Just, all

right.

Yeah.

Finish up watching this Austin City Limits thing so I can get to the cartoons.

So I've been thinking about and dreaming about my whole life.

And then literally, she had never heard of it before, came to her.

pulled her that dream.

The next day, Buzz Kemper came to her and it's like, you're really good at organizing things.

I have this idea.

I want to start this like Austin City Limits style, you know, web series.

And she was like, wait, there are two guys in the span of two days came to be telling me they had this dream of starting an Austin City Limits show.

What is this Austin City?

Okay, let's all just talk.

Let's make this happen.

That's kind of how the triumvirate

Pete Schwaba

happens.

Serendipitous.

Yeah.

Guys, I hope tomorrow night is a big smash.

Check it out.

It's at the Bounty in Madison.

It is the newest episode.

It's called Classical Masterworks at the Overture Center.

That's the name of the episode.

And that's the first episode, a little premiere there at the bounty.

Sounds like a really cool.

Event so check it out and Google the bounty to and you guys will have to come back when these episodes start airing Come on back Peter and Jay and we'll keep talking about this.

I think it's just great.

Pete Schwaba

some pretty interesting

music.

Pete Schwaba

I like it.

She's got a great song that is totally timely with the with the baseball series tomorrow night, so that'll be fun the baseball series The Cubs

Brewers game.

Just general baseball

Pete Schwaba

series.

That's what I like sports games

So Terry will be along shortly.

Let's get to some of the texts.

We're a little behind here tonight, but the question of the night is what is your favorite cake and please include frosting.

Is this a, oh wow, I gotta go back here.

Okay.

So Eric from the 608 says chocolate marble.

Ooh, I like marble cake.

That's a great one.

He says chocolate marble with a side of vanilla ice cream.

Nice.

Love it.

Great one, Eric.

Anna from Madison says, hi, Pete and Conrad.

My favorite cake is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

I just want to say if people have not tried cream cheese frosting on cake, you are not living your best life.

I cannot say that more clearly.

And carrot cake, I don't even necessarily like carrot cake that much.

But it's my dad's favorite cake.

So whenever there's cream cheese frosting on it, I'll eat.

I just love cream cheese frosting that much.

You could put it on a piece of cardboard and I would down it.

I would attack

it.

I don't know.

Pete Schwaba

I'm exaggerating for a fact.

Dan from Wausau, he's in the 715 says pineapple upside down cake.

Have you ever had that?

No.

It's interesting.

I don't know how it was ever created because it's like you smash the pineapple into the cake and it gets cooked in and singed.

I mean, it's good.

I wouldn't say it looks the best, but it is very tasty.

Thank you, Dan.

Melissa from Willy Street in Madison.

That's the 608 says Red Velvet Conrad.

Ask your question to Melissa.

You could answer this.

Is Red Velvet cake just chocolate cake with red dye in it?

That was my question.

Pete Schwaba

What other flavor would it be?

It's chocolate.

Have you heard that it's chocolate?

No, that's what I think.

Could it be cherry?

I don't know.

Pete Schwaba

Can you go to the Google?

It's velvet.

It's velvet

flavor.

The Google's not as cool as getting an answer from the listener.

Pete Schwaba

Ask the chat GPT, or as my wife calls it, chat GBT.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says, Mansfield Park Cake in the rain.

I think he means MacArthur Park.

MacArthur Park Cake in the rain, but we will never have that recipe again with chocolate frosting.

Well done, Tyler.

That's a great song.

Great 70s tune Bridget from the 818 says lemon cake with lemon frosting light and delicious favorite since I was a kid Thank you Bridget in the 818 Tony the trucker says Pete carrot cake with cream cheese frosting a glass of ice cold or maybe a cup of piping hot coffee I Think he meant milk ice cold milk with a piece of cake.

That's like the all-american dessert.

Yeah

Pete Schwaba

I'm with you, though, on the coffee, Tony.

Thank you, buddy.

Great text.

John from Madison says, good evening, Peter and Conrad.

Fun show as usual.

You guys are cool.

Well, thanks, John.

Thank you.

You're one of

Pete Schwaba

our coolest textors.

Yeah.

You guys are so damn interesting.

Such accomplishments and contributions.

All right.

No, I think he's just like, I think he's being a little sarcastic.

No, I think, yeah.

I think he means it.

We

appreciate it, John.

Pete Schwaba

He says, awesome.

Impossible not to like Peter's demeanor.

Wow.

It's tight and you are a real pro.

Kudos.

Really love your stuff every night.

Thanks, guys.

I don't use the word hero very often, Conrad, but John is mine.

I thought you were going to say yourself.

Pete Schwaba

Well, it should be me after that glowing text.

And then John continues with another text.

This is a little mini series.

John is going here.

He says, and Conrad, stay confident and put yourself out there.

You sure you're so chill and cool.

It's a great attribute.

Go for it, bro.

Own it.

You got this man.

Love your show.

Thanks, John.

John, you got to tune in to make the call.

Get another

Kathryn Lake

dose of Conrad.

Yeah,

Pete Schwaba

definitely.

Conrad in a different genre, if you will.

Thank you, buddy.

Great to hear from you, John.

Thanks for the nice words.

Steady Eddie in the 608 says, Pete and Conrad, devil's food cake with chocolate frosting.

And don't forget a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and a good cup of coffee.

Wow.

Steady Eddie's bringing it tonight.

I mean, I would go for the cream cheese frosting, but chocolate and chocolate, you can't beat that either.

That's a great combo.

He says, brewers should play tomorrow without worry or fear.

Just go out there and play.

Enjoy the moment.

Fans should take the same approach.

Root without worry or fear, have fun.

It's just a baseball game.

Go, brewers.

Steady Eddie.

Great stuff, Steady Eddie.

Thank you.

And we will, no matter who you're cheering for, we will take your words to heart.

It's funny he says that there was a comedian named Jimmy Higgins from Chicago, phenomenal comedian.

And he used to joke about he couldn't get a hotel room in Cincinnati.

They had to put the comics over in Covington in Kentucky.

And he said, what the hell is going on in Cincinnati?

Why are all the hotel rooms booked?

He goes, what are you an idiot?

It's the Red's Playoff game.

He goes, he goes, huh?

He goes, oh no, he said, and Pete Rose is back.

And Jimmy says, I wouldn't walk across the street to see Pete Rose.

And the guy says, oh yeah, where are you from?

And he goes, Chicago.

He goes, what do you know about baseball up there in Chicago?

And Jimmy said, we know it's not important.

Which is exactly what that guy needed here.

And I agree with Jimmy, but you can't explain that to a passionate sports fan.

Like I know in the greater scale it's not important, but it.

When your teams are playing that doesn't matter you just go crazy It's part of the fun Dave on the stream says yellow cake with chocolate frosting Very nice Dave mixing it up a little bit Amanda never our WGB W pals says cheesecake no frosting Although there's a bakery by me that makes a cheesecake cake a cake with the middle layer is cheesecake.

Oh, that sounds good

And we have one more text from Craig who is talking about the sawdust city film festival that takes place tomorrow in Oshkosh at the Time Community Theater.

I will read more details of the text later in the show because there's some cool stuff playing with some friends of ours.

But when we come back, it's a Bar Band Friday night, folks.

Terry Barr is right around the corner.

It's Pete Schwabba and Night Light on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

Time to check out original music with bar band Friday on nightlight now your host peach wabba and special guest Terry bar

Pete Schwaba

Welcome back tonight like folks All right, all of you have started your weekend Conrad and I have not and neither has my next guest but it is right around the corner after we talk about some great tunes a little baseball and

Who better to do that with than with our usual Friday night pal?

The wonderfully talented Terry Barr.

Hello, my friend.

Yeah.

You sound so chipper tonight.

I love it.

Pete Schwaba

Well, you know what?

I fake it till I make it.

That's what I do, Terry.

I'm

Pete Schwaba

a mess on the inside, but this is how I cover the pain.

I've been saying that for years.

Pete Schwaba

No, it's great to have you here.

I have to ask you, before we jump into music, do you have a favorite kind of cake?

Ooh.

I used to, you know, those jello poke cakes they call it.

It's like yellow cake.

And then you pour jello over it.

Yeah.

And then

you just put as much whipped cream on the top as you can.

Oh my gosh.

And that used to be fun, but.

Pete, I've weirdly become not a sweet eater anymore.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, what is your secret?

I will eat a piece of cheesecake if it's available.

Otherwise, I really don't eat sweets.

Available,

Pete Schwaba

meaning like if somebody gives it to you for free or...

Well,

my sister-in-law is a great baker, and I know she's severely disappointed when we show up and then we're like, yeah, no, thanks.

But of course, her cheesecake is amazing.

Good, all that trouble.

Pete Schwaba

If I could give up sweets and chips, I'd be

the

Pete Schwaba

happiest guy in the world.

Well, that's the other side, the salt.

Oh, I love the salt, yes.

Pete Schwaba

And those people that can do moderate, my mom is like that, just have one cookie.

Okay, yeah,

that's gonna

Pete Schwaba

happen.

No, one chip.

No, I got our seven ships.

No way.

Can't do

Pete Schwaba

that.

I appreciate your mom though.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, I wish I was more like that.

Honestly, I would I would love to be a moderation guy, but I'm either binge or purge.

And

I don't mean that.

So what's your cake?

What is it?

Pete Schwaba

It's devil.

Well, I don't know if it's a devil.

It's just chocolate or devil's food cake with a cream cheese frosting.

It's

really good.

Pete Schwaba

I think that would get you back on sweets, Terry, if you try that.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

That just sounds really good right now.

Pete Schwaba

Very good.

And Conrad says, ice

cream cake,

Pete Schwaba

which is also good.

Right.

Next Friday, I talked to you.

I'll be like, big piece of cake this week.

Pete Schwaba

I'm gonna finish with, there's a text here from your pal Craig Kinett Terry, who is part of the-

Oh,

Pete Schwaba

Craig.

Yeah, he's lots of fun, creepy movies tomorrow, Last Witch of Wisconsin, Dear Mageddon, and his newest horror comedy, Daniel Needs to Leave, which I saw, and it is very funny.

Craig did a great job in the short film with our friend Daniel Wheeler.

And he says, hope to catch some of you all at the Time Theater in Oshkosh tomorrow.

So Craig texted that in early

on the screen.

Wonderful, congratulations.

Greg.

Yeah,

Pete Schwaba

he's a he's a busy guy.

So, Terry, let's jump in, though, to some music tonight.

Who should we start with?

You got two great artists and two kind of a different approach here.

So we should we start with baseball or.

Let's because I know you have been talking about sports throughout the show and the sports show that is on civic media.

Exactly.

Why not?

Pete Schwaba

Turned into a theme.

We backed into a theme tonight somehow and it's fantastic.

What do you love when it happens?

Pete Schwaba

That's

great.

So,

Pete Schwaba

um, so yeah, and Conrad and I have been talking about the, the Cubs and the Brewers were on opposite sides of the, uh, cheering stations there, but, uh,

it's a great series.

No.

No, I,

Pete Schwaba

I know I was raised, I was, my childhood was in Chicago, the first part of

it.

I did know that.

I think I tried to like put that out of my mind.

So

Pete Schwaba

you still like me?

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

It's okay.

Listen, I I'm a happy guy I have taken abuse from Wisconsin sports fans since I moved to Wisconsin at 12 years old on a day one I

had

Pete Schwaba

people in my face and there I still love everybody.

Oh boy.

It's a testament to me.

It just never

Pete Schwaba

ends.

Exactly All right, so tell us about this song.

This is a great song.

It's a Willie Porter in I can't remember Dave Adler, right

Dave Adler These are two

Guys that have played the world separately and together.

Yeah Willie is based in the Milwaukee area and he does he continues to tour everywhere and he tours as a solo duo and the band and Dave Adler is a keyboard player who happens to be in Willie's band and they're just great friends too

when you see

these two

whether it's a comedy show.

They're so much fun.

Now, Dave Adler is from Madison.

He is the leader of the band Steely Dane.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

He is the keyboard player leader.

He is also now in a super tramp tribute band.

And then he plays with anyone, everyone, including Willie Porter.

I think any given time Dave Adler is playing with six to eight different bands.

Pete Schwaba

How about that?

That's a guy who just loves music.

I love that.

He'll play anywhere

and everywhere.

Pete Schwaba

I love people like that.

Yeah.

And he did the California thing like you did.

Pete Schwaba

OK.

and was able to connect with some really interesting people, work on some interesting projects.

He did some music for NBC.

And I think just at one point, though, he had a daughter and decided he didn't want to raise her in California.

So coming on back to Madison, he did it.

And I'm so glad we are so lucky to have him here.

Pete Schwaba

That's so great.

So these two guys have a song.

Now, who wrote this?

Did they write the song?

Yeah, they wrote it together, put all of it together.

Everything you hear is the two of them.

Interesting though, they did this during the pandemic.

And never really did anything with it.

And as the Brewers were playing through the end of the season and now through the series, I texted Dave and I said, remember that song you said you wrote a while ago?

Why don't you get that back out there?

He goes, I forgot all about it.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, no way.

So I said, if you don't mind, I would love to share it with Pete and all the listeners.

I think it's a fabulous song.

Pete Schwaba

All right.

Well, let's hear it in honor of the the Brewers and Cubs game tomorrow night.

Baseball on the radio.

And there's something special about baseball on the radio.

It's just

it's so

old

Pete Schwaba

school.

It's just great.

And here is a song about that compliments of our pal here at Barband Friday Night, Terry Barr.

Had a Chevy VA with naga hide and seats A family station wagon in 1973

Driving to the store, Bob, you could call in the place.

Just a nine-year-old kid, my dad had nothing to say.

I asked him, what do we need?

He said, I don't know.

Well, why did we drive to Sears?

He said, it's good to hear some baseball on the radio.

And some shrubs my kids are working for cash Radio says the picture just brushed him back Just a little chin music backed him out of the box Jukers weaving a story like he's knitting some socks

Pete Schwaba

a little Bob Yooker in there.

Yeah, that was kind of cool.

Oh, that's

great.

Get up.

Get up.

Yeah.

Love that so much.

Pete Schwaba

Is that now is Willie singing there or Dave?

That is all Willie singing.

Pete Schwaba

All right.

He has such a fun voice.

Dave is equally fabulous.

But I really like the way Willie

does it as a story, and the voice just tells it so perfectly.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, I love his, I've heard him before.

I really like his music.

My wife saw Dave Adler, or she saw Steely Dane.

This is kind of funny.

She got talked into going to a concert in Milwaukee with her friends and her sisters, and she's like, yeah, my friend, we're going to see Steely Dane.

I go, oh, wow, how much are the tickets?

She goes like 20 bucks.

I was like, wait a minute.

Are you sure it's not

Pete Schwaba

Steely?

I can't be

real.

And then

Pete Schwaba

she told me he was stealing the damage.

She went and she had a blast and she was having so much fun.

She was asked to leave the dance floor.

Believe it or not.

So there you go.

That's my wife.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

That's a

Pete Schwaba

lot of fun.

Yeah.

Good.

All right.

So tell us about Paul, Phillip Boetz.

Philippowitz.

Pete Schwaba

I should have known that.

We have talked about him, but it's been a while.

I think he was an early artist that I brought to you.

It turns out Paul has a new album coming out at the end of this month, and he just happened to stop by to visit with Rocker at home at Rocker's house.

He

said

to Rocker, hey, I got some new songs.

Do you want them?

And Rocker said, I do and I know Terry will and Pete will love these two.

Yeah.

So they've not played anywhere else.

This is a brand new song.

Paul Philippowitz is 76 years old

lead

singer lead guitar player.

Total blues guy.

Yeah.

This is his 11th album.

Pete Schwaba

Oh my gosh.

Isn't that incredible?

Is he going to

Pete Schwaba

be on your show soon or on Mexican?

Not till probably right before he releases the album, which isn't until the last Friday of the month.

Pete Schwaba

I do remember this guy.

I'm looking him up on the Google right now.

Yes, I do remember you brought.

He's great.

He has won every possible Blues Award, including the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame.

He's inducted there.
