SD RnR HISTORY INTERVIEW 1 --KEVIN KING pt1

In the first portion of the interview seen here, we meet Kevin in the early years, formative phases and sense of adventure.  Sioux Falls residents of the era will love his first person descriptions of the rise and exit of Ma's Boys. Recorded 4/12/14 at the Ramkota.

EXCERPT FROM MY INTERVIEW WITH JOHN BROWN

I had the opportunity to interview John Brown, the man who orchestrated the 1960s KOMA band scene.  He began with the Flippers, discovered the promo power of KOMA, built Mid-Continent Entertainment and opened the Red Dog Inn, all before the age of 30.

John is one of my heroes.  He is a self-made, visionary and bold businessman – the kind of person who makes America a land of opportunity.

I will post more of my interview with John.  Here is a small sample of our conversation.

THOSE OF US Ramkota 041814

THOSE OF US rocked the Ramkota Ballroom on a brisk Saturday night in April.  I got to the hall just before they started playing so I hadn't established a camera shot.  Shaky sometimes but a real live scene.  Enjoy!
