MS FAB IS IN THE HOUSE - NEW CO-HOST ALERT - 70s TRIVIA - ep.95

We have a new CO-Host joining Rob and her name is MS FAB (aka Joann)
Joann and Rob have known each other for a very long time
On this podcast Ms Fab tells us about her job at the ROCK BOX SCHOOL and STAGE in North Port Florida.. and also it's an introduction for listeners as she will be our first female co-host!
We also talk a little Barry Gibb, pairing a beverage to a song or album and even Neil Diamond is mentioned ...
Ms Fab will be a regular on the podcast along with Matt, Jeremy and Sam.  
Ms Fab will bring a fun and exciting flavor to the podcast and we'll be talking more about 70s, 80s music than anything.  Maybe 60s and 50s.. I see an Elvis movie review in the future.
At the end of this episode we do some 70s music trivia!  Does Ms Fab have what it takes to go against Rockin Rob?  
You'll have to tune in to find out.
