    Jam Productions: The Backstage Rockstars

    Jam Productions: The Backstage Rockstars

    Arny Granat and Jerry Mickelson started JAM PRODUCTIONS and made history.
    Before there was Ticketmaster and Live Nation there was JAM. They built an empire and had more fun than the superstar bands they put on stage.

    Arny is still busy with show business and his new company.  And even though he doesn't do interviews- he talked to me on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

    My Funny Friend Bill Leff

    My Funny Friend Bill Leff

    Bill Leff always makes me laugh. He always makes me funnier. He's an excellent tennis player and he and I always play a friendly version of smart-ass tennis.

    There's no ball, no net... it's just back and forth smart assery.  That's what this episode is - for the most part. And... we also talk about Bill's time on WLS as we continue to celebrate the 100th year of The Big 890!

    I think you're really going to like this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE!

    SHOW NOTES

    Bill Leff is the host and cartoon curator of TOON IN WITH ME weekday mornings. He also is a new part of the family for the legendary Svengoolie every Saturday night. See it all on METV and check your local listings.
