Ep.37 – In The Studio with Russ Alexander of the Hitman Blues Band

The Hitman Blues Band is not a cover band-they play original, modern blues which is why they have been invited to perform at My Father's Place at the Roslyn Hotel August 10, 2018.

Russ Alexander brought photos and great music and shared them on the airwaves with Rich Solomon, host of Taking Care of Business and My Father's Place Radio.

We all strive to eat healthy, but in today's fast-paced world, quick and easy meals (that are nutritious) can be a daily challenge.

Laura teaches "what food does for you" and helps you think about real food and balancing your food choices.

Laura addresses sugar in food, (why sugar addiction is real and problematic), situations that can cause us to "fall off course," jump-starting the day with water, mindful indulgence, insulin/insulin resistance, high blood pressure, triglycerides, cravings, healthy weight loss, and so much more.

Ep.31 – Kate Taylor is Here To Stay

Born in New England and raised in North Carolina, Kate shares her dual musical heritage with brothers James, Livingston, Hugh, and her late brother Alex.

Her roots run deep in the soul, gospel and rockabilly sounds of her southern upbringing and in the literate folk, pop and Appalachian stylings that comprise the balance of her family's shared musical legacy. In a recent show review, The Huffington Post said, "Her heart ignites a sea of beauty expressed in a myriad of harmony, rhythm and passion. Musically, she is seamless. She effortlessly and brilliantly flies through a wide swath of styles, from blues to country to ballad to gospel and beyond."

Kate fronted her own rock band at fifteen, and by nineteen had signed her first recording contract with Atlantic/Cotillion under the tutelage of her manager, legendary producer Peter Asher. That album, "Sister Kate," produced her first charting hit, a cover of Elton John's "Country Comfort," recorded with his encouragement and blessing. She later recorded two albums for Columbia Records, "Kate Taylor," produced by her brother James Taylor and "It's in There," produced by acclaimed Muscle Shoals/Nashville producer Barry Beckett.

Her duet with James, "The Shoop Shoop Song," from "Kate Taylor," became her next charting hit single and remains an audience favorite today. Kate's 2002 release, Beautiful Road, received 3 stars from Rolling Stone, who dubbed it a "heartfelt folk-rock gem." And her 2009 release, Fair Time!, her first of all original compositions, debuted to critical acclaim nationwide.
