Tunes for the mind

Welcome back to BrownVintage Radio Show. We are back with a new season, and I'm ready to give you more of what you don’t hear in mainstream. This show we will talk to Eddie Connor Jr., a noted author, evangelist, motivational speaker, and TVcorrespondent on CBS/CW 50 who is a walking testimony. At 15, he experienced pain that most teens at that age don’t go through. He was diagnosed with cancer, but Eddie defeated all the odds. The doctor’s said the cancer was terminal BUT God said it wasn’t. Eddie realizes that he was not born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth but was raised by a strong mother, who instilled in him life long values and the importance of governing himself as a positive individual.He proclaimed from Psalm 118:17, “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.” Eddie affirms that he was "Destined to Overcome the Odds."A graduate of Eastern Michigan University, Eddie has earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. He is a recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award and continually inspires young people with messages of hope, healing, and determination.Eddie Connor talks about his life and purpose in three books, ‘Purposefully Prepared to Persevere,’ ‘Collections of Reflections: Symphonies of Strength, Volumes 1-3,’ and ‘E.CON the ICON: from Pop Culture to President Barack Obama.’

On this show we will talk to one of my favorite artists in the business, Steph Jones. He's a singer, songwriter, model, actor and HUGE comedic personality.

We will discuss the ways he plans to change the way people see the music industry. Visit www.stephjonesgalaxy.com to learn more about him.

This is an IMPORTANT show because while Black women are highlighted on such a broad scale for their work, contributions and leadership, there are positive men who are doing the same thing but not as recognized as we would like to see. This show will be a smorgasbord of different kinds of leadership in Black males from across the globe. You will tap into their worlds as to what brings them joy. You will hear from author and motivational speaker Tony A. Gaskins, Jr., who has appeared on the Oprah Show and Tyra Show; Durik "Prince" DaJour, former host of the legendary BET show "Teen Summit," and "Rap City," who is also a radio personality and a personal growth developer. In addition we will hear from Tolton Pace, who is no stranger to the show. He has worked in radio, TV and has worked alongside radio personality, CoCo Brother. He is currently working in those areas along with educating the youth. Please join me on this show as you don't want to miss this treat!

This segment will featured a Gospel group that sticks out to me. I don't see too many male groups anymore, let alone male Gospel groups, so I wanted to feature a group that people need to know more about. GI is that group. They are known as God's Image and I'm glad to see more young men using their voices for God. I will talk to them about their journey thus far.

New Music, New Artists: Gospel Group, GI are the featured guests!

This is just a display of independent and underrepresented artists from Gospel to R&B whom listeners may be unaware of. These artists have the potential to be more than just successful, but more people need to hear them. Listeners are welcome to call in at anytime to discuss these artists.

Artists Display

This conversation started on a previous segment, but there was so much to be said I decided that we shall have part two to this. We are discussing the relationships among African-American men and women. Why don't we communicate? What do we want in relationships? What are the things that we don't mind. What matters to you? Age? Education. All of the above. We will discuss all of these things that stem from Hill Harper's book "The Conversation."

The Conversation continued part Two

I haven't had a show in a while due to my lack of motivation and my perseverance to have a certain someone on the show. And I'm still working on it. But I don't want to stop my consistency of my show so please join me to share your voice on many topics.

Free Flowing

We will talk to musical artist, PJ Morton, and a possible surprise guest about maintaining their relationship with Christ. We will also talk about their music as well and how it may differ from the average music you hear on the radio.

It doesn't matter what your occupation is, if you are trying to revamp your career by taking it in another direction, kudos to you. We are celebrating that on this show. We are also going to celebrate a young woman who has created a buzz among indie artists. Sandra Shepard will join us to talk about the re-launch of her online magazine, called Underground Unseen, which will re-launch on July 15. The magazine also will feature yours truly doing some voice over work!

Upgrading your career

This is another time for me to discuss my inspirations, and talk to some media folks who have made it to success. Journalism is suffering but we want to make light of the industry and let people know journalism isn't going any where.

The Journey to Success

I love Youtube and what it has done for people. I will have a Youtube artist turned Youtube star on the show by the name of Dondria aka Phatfffat joining me along with another Youtube star Cory aka Broadway.

Youtube Stars

This will be more of a talent soapbox. I will talk to undiscovered talent as who showcase their talent on Youtube, Myspace, Underground Unseen and other self-advertisement Web sites for starving artists.
