Today we have the great Orianthi on the show. Not only is she a killer guitar player, She is also an incredible Singer/Songwriter

Orianthi has been playing guitar most of her life inspired at an early age by Carlos Santana and the early Blues Legends. Her father bought her a Paul Reed Smith guitar and she never put it down.

After a run as Alice Cooper's guitar player Orianthi was spotted by Michael Jackson and he quickly asked her to join him for the This Is It tour that ended up being cancelled after his untimely death.

These days Orianthi is constantly in the studio recording solo records or working with Richie Sambora on their project called RSO.

Thanks for tuning in and remember to please leave a review on iTunes and Youtube.

Today I sit down with a legend in the Music Merch world Mr Norman Perry president of Perryscope Productions.

Norman started out back in his early teens booking bands at the High School dances eventually working his way up to be one of the great Canadian concert promoters. 

In 1980 he was the Promoter for the AC/DC Back In Black tour through Canada so that right away made me want to talk to him but there is so much more.

Norman went from Concert Promotion to Concert Merchandiser working with another legend Michael Cohl at a company called Brockum.

These days Norman has an incredible company called Perryscope Productions where they do Music Licensing for acts like Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The Band, Bon Scott, Genesis, Miles Davis and so much more.

Normans music knowledge and stories are next level so tune in and take the ride.

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk by guest is the incredible Byron Katie.

Byron was 43 with three children and unhappily married to her second husband. She suffered from depression, agoraphobia, overeating and addiction to codeine and alcohol. She called her insurance company for help, and was referred to Hope House in Los Angeles a women's counseling center.

After two weeks at the house, she reportedly experienced an epiphany in her thinking which created a way for her to challenge and lessen the harmful effects of long-held beliefs. She credited the epiphany, which became known as "The Work" for a subsequent weight loss and other reductions in bad habits.

Byron has helped so many people in this world and maybe she can help you. 

I hope you guys enjoy this episode I know it's a little different from what you are used to but I feel it's important to constantly keep the show growing in all directions.
