Frank Marcovis from G&L Clothing was our special guest this morning shortly after the 8:30 news. They are celebrating their 100th anniversary! This Saturday from 11AM-1PM, you can come to the store at 1801 Ingersoll, and sing the last 8 seconds of their jingle for a chance at a great prize package from G&L as well as a gift card to the store! There is no pre-registration required...just show up and sing! You can see the contestants from the G&L Idol from their 90th anniversary on YouTube...G&L Idol. They will also post the jingle on their Facebook Page so you'll know what you need to sing. Check out all the 100th Anniversary specials throughout the store while you're there! Good luck! Here Frank's interview here...
Jeff Angelo is a huge "The Voice" watcher, so it's really fun that we have three Iowans competing! The "Battle Rounds" began last night and Chris Weaver of Iowa competed against Kathrina Feigh in the song "Dangerous Woman" by Ariana Grande. Chris is on Jennifer Hudson's team and Jennifer chose Chris as the winner....however, Kathrina is not out because Blake stole Kathrina for his team! Iowan Jon Mero on Team Adam has yet to compete in the "Battle Rounds" and Adam Cunningham from Grandview, Iowa, is on Team Blake and also has yet to compete in the "Battle Rounds" Good luck to all three!!!! Here the audio from last night of Chris's performance here...
In case you missed Van and Bonnie's "Name That Percentage" this morning...here it is....
