    PopUp Radio - Episode 5 - Getting "'Flicted" with Bruce Hornsby

    After a lifetime on the air, there is no other artist that I have had the pleasure of interacting with longer than Bruce Hornsby. In my mid-20's, and working in Portland, OR, I was lucky to tag along with my Program Director of KMJK (Magic 107) to see an RCA Records showcase with a new artist for 1986 that they were showing off. Little did I know that I would be in the crowd when Bruce would christen the renovated Harrison Opera House. I was the guest that evening of Kathie Moore...and little did I know the role she had in getting Bruce's music heard by RCA in the first place. I was there when Bill Reid asked Bruce to open the Virginia Beach Amphitheater, on the sand at Duck-Inn when Bruce came down on a Friday afternoon to play for the Coast Radio faithful. And I was there on the campus of William and Mary when Bruce announced his first line-up for the Virginia Arts Festival's Funhouse Fest, a three-year run that was curated by Bruce. Well, June brought the passing of our dear friend Kathie, and while celebrating her life, I felt the need to reach out to Bruce once again...to not only lift up the memory of this special game-changer, but to also celebrate yet another chapter in Bruce Hornsby's amazing career. His 23rd album came out in late spring. It's called "'Flicted," and I thought it appropriate to catch up with Bruce, and get you ready for his return-home concert at The Ferguson Center in early November. Let's get 'Flicted with Brother Bruce...on PopUp Radio.
