A lot has been written & mentioned on the air about Bob Bell's wonderful lodge & concert venue.  I can tell you first hand having been there 5 or 6 times now, you won't find a more comfortable, friendly, homey place to visit.  People literally pull up rocking chairs & sit on love seats for their up close & personal live performances in the lobby.  Click the link to see/book this fall's line-up & make sure you say hello to Bob....one of the nicest, most hospitable guys you'll ever meet!  But don't wait, some of these shows will sell out.  Tell em Drew Johnson sent ya.....    http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10559292ddjohnson@stl.emmis.com (Drew Johnson)http://www.k-hits.com/drewjohnson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10559292Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:31:14 GMTFord will bring back old-fashioned knobs and buttons to car radios.  And I thought it was just me not being able to change my old ways.........

The news comes after research showed the Ford F-150 with MyFord Touch had the highest rate of quality satisfaction of all Ford vehicles.

The inductees at the black-tie ceremony, held at New York's Marriott Marquis, spanned several generations – and several styles – of pop songwriting.
