The Boomer Sit-In this week is the singing Senior Mortgage Lender for Dundee Bank in Blackstone, Pat Salerno. We're told his voice is as good as his baseball swing and, lucky for us, both are pretty darn good! Pat joined Jack Swanda to talk about growing up in Omaha, raising a house full of daughters and how he gives back to the community. Thanks to Pat Salerno for joining us on the Boomer Radio Network!
Boomers, you know how our eyes change as we grow older. Today we talk a little shop with Dr. Mike Halsted while he spins his favorite hits in our Sit-In with Jack Swanda. Dr. Halsted of Midwest Eye Care is an Omaha specialist in corneal transplantation, cataract surgery and diseases of the cornea.
He's been the chair of Ak-Sar-Ben, the chair of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, the publisher of the Omaha World Herald, the chair of the Westside Schools Foundation, and oh, by the way, he runs one of the most successful advertising agencies in the market. He's Terry Kroeger of Smith Kroeger, sitting in with Jack Swanda for a Boomer Sit-In.
Life-long Omahan and local business owner Rick Bettger of Omaha Car Care joined Jack Swanda for today's Boomer Sit-in!
Marty Smith, Executive Director of St Vincent DePaul, joined Jack Swanda for a Boomer Sit-In!
You would be surprised at how many familiar songs have been made by people from Nebraska but only one Nebraska group ever played American Bandstand. Join us as we meet one of the musicians who played for Dick Clark... Mike Semrad, a member of The Smoke Ring. Mike and another musical friend, Dave Nelson, will talk about great songs with Nebraska ties on the Boomer Radio Network!
Mike Bunach of the Cross Training Center joined Jack Swanda for a Boomer Sit-In!
What's all the buzzzzzzzzzzz about? That's the cast of Beehive getting ready to reunite for our next sit-in with Jack Swanda. This group was an Omaha sensation, pulling off our city's longest running musical show, plus, they were recently inducted into the Nebraska Musicians Hall of Fame! All six members will join us to talk about those great shows and the tunes that made the Howard Street Tavern rock. It is going to be a crowded studio. It's going to be a jam-packed hour of fun, and this time, you don't have to buy a ticket!
It's a Special Veteran's Day Sit-In, featuring songs from the Vietnam War era. We will be joined by veterans Gerry Logan, U.S. Navy, Vietnam, and Peter Fey, who has a 20 year career as a commander and Navy pilot. Both have written books. Peter's is a highly praised military history of Carrier Air Wing 16 which, during the Vietnam War, lost nearly 1/3 of its aircraft and pilots (KIA, MIA,POW)...the most of any carrier air wing in Vietnam. Gerry's book is a diary of his time with Carrier Air Wing 16 on the USS Oriskany in 1967. Please join Jack Swanda this Monday, 4-5 (1600 hours-1700 hours) for a special salute to our servicemen on the Boomer Radio Network.
