Singer/songwriter Ginny Owens, Tom Burgoyne ("very good friend" of the Phillie Phanatic) & Tony Orlando

A very special Famous Friday Show today! We kick things off with singer/songwriter Ginny Owens. A three-time Dove Award winner (including New Artist of the Year in 2000) with more than a dozen CDs & EPs to her credit, Owens is slated to participate in the upcoming Faithful livestream event (Saturday May 1 @ 8pm) featuring songs & stories of God's kindness to women throughout history and today. Her book, Singing In The Dark--Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture, releases that date too. Owens shares the story behind what Faithful is all about and touches on her "How I See It" video series which gives people insight into daily life as a blind person.Tom Burgoyne ("very good friend" of the Phillie Phanatic) gives good info on a Virtual Painting Night coming up April 23 in conjunction with the Darren Daulton Foundation (which helps those affected by malignant primary brain tumors). Former Eagle Tre Thomas & Daulton teammates Tommy Greene & Mickey Morandini will be on hand too (registration ends Monday April 12 (www.darrendaultonfoundation.org)). We talk life from a mascot's perspective, other Burgoyne endeavors, and Phillies baseball too :).The one & only Tony Orlando caps off the broadcast. Five #1 Gold singles, three Gold albums, two Platinum albums and hits including his signature song "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," Orlando has a new CD "Timeless: The Big Hits" featuring re-recordings of his hits plus a bonus track, "America Is My Hometown." Orlando, who also hosts a new radio show, opens with a delightful story about his first-ever single appearing on WFIL and graciously refers to his appreciation for Philadelphia and radio throughout our chat. Truly a trip down memory lane!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
