 Show Bus of the Stars

The Show Bus starts from the Monte Carlo to the Stratosphere to The Fremont Street Experience downtown and back. It is a 1965 vintage double Decker open London Air Bus with a top of the line celebrity impersonator on board. Be prepared to be entertained by Little Richard, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Cher and Charlie Pride, to name a few. All these impersonators play as well as or better than the artists. People on board are excited and as they drive down the strip they are applauded by the people on the street. www.showbusofthestars.com 

This is the brainchild of John Stuart, founder and producer of Legends in Concert, which he started this past July. It runs 7 days a week with daily tours at 10am , 7pm and 9pm. There are special VIP tickets for the upper deck and you can buy special 2 for 1 tickets if you mention this story or Celebrity News on All Talk Radio. Jason Abbott will be handling the ticket requests.

 Johnny Potash

Our studio was once again filled with music as Johnny Potash fiddled away. He paid tribute to Charlie Daniels. Steve Connelly played his guitar and sang Elvis songs for us. Elvis definitely was in the house. They both have tremendous talent and are so gifted. They had a jam session which was so exciting to be a part of because it was for us in the studio.

Johnny is a master of the fiddle and a concert violinist who started playing at the age of eight. He had watched Johnny Cash sing and that is how he got interested in music. He was introduced to the fiddle by a neighborhood family and then he asked for a fiddle of his own. Soon after he went to music camp and entered into competitions. That was the start of his long career. www.fiddlinman.us  Johnny also plays the mandolin and guitar. He performed with the American Superstars at the Stratosphere and had the honor of singing with Charlie Daniels at one of his concerts at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. What greater acknowledgement can anyone receive than by the person who you are paying tribute to. His fans can pay tribute to him now on the show bus and enjoy his music and be in his presence.

Johnny Potash is truly a handsome southern gentleman with a great smile and a wonderful personality. I could have listened to him play for hours. I will be on the tour bus on Saturday Dec.8th at 7pm and I would love to meet all of you there too.

Everybody loves Elvis so why wouldn’t he be a natural to be on the show bus to sing love songs to all the beautiful women who love him. Your trip to Las Vegas wouldn’t be complete unless you were in the presence of Elvis, and Steve is the next best thing. Picture standing right next to him or having him sit next to you on your seat. You surely would never get that close to Elvis on the stage. Not only can you touch him, you can have pictures taken with him. Ladies, he is electrifying, gorgeous, handsome and so polite and charming. You can even get a great hug from him. I know because I have gotten lots of hugs from Steve. Stars have been quoted as saying he is the best Elvis they have ever seen. He has over 3,000 live performances and was the winner of the Best Elvis in a Las Vegas Contest. www.spiritoftheking.com 

Steve told me he met President Bill Clinton at a private party and the President said “It’s clear to me You are the #1 Elvis”. Mr. President was so impressed with Steve that he spent a lot of time talking to him. It was so long that the secret service came up to Steve and whispered in his ear that he was taking too much of Bill Clinton’s time. So he graciously stepped away but the President found Steve again and continued to talk to him. Steve then took him out of the receiving line and took him to another entertainer to take pictures. At that point the secret service had to go along with what the President wanted to do. That was to be with Steve Connolly. What an honor.

The tour will last approximately 1 hour and there will be photo opportunities with the celebrities.

It has grown to over 200 members. Sherial knows the secrets of networking and one of the most important is Attitude about the service and business. Being confident is also very important and when meeting people, to listen to what they are saying. There is a difference between listening and hearing. Listening involves hearing with the heart.

Sherial is planning to have a radio show on All Talk Radio about a dating service. It will be a full hour weekly show on how to find your perfect partner. She has been on many dating sites, gathering information and interviewing men. She has sometimes interviewed 4 to 5 men every day and has discovered lots of things about men. I have been on dating sites also and what I found was that about 35% of the men on the sites were married. The first clue is that they do not have a picture posted and won’t give out their telephone number. She disagreed with me but Jason agreed to the same 35%. Either way, I think it is a great idea for a radio show.

Another project close to Sherial’s heart is a new facility for homeless kids in Las Vegas. There will be a help center opening in January 2008 near the strip that will house the homeless kids that are now on the streets. She said there are anywhere from 3,000 to 6,000 kids that are homeless. She, herself, was homeless as a child from 10 to 14 years old in Oklahoma due to the mistakes of her parents. They sometimes lived in cars, in chicken coops and various places. This project is important to her. She encourages people to be a mentor and a positive role model for these kids. She definitely is a great role model for them. I found her to be a very positive and powerful woman that I can relate to. Now would be a good time to make a difference in a childs life.

 The Innocence and Wisdom of Youth

By Michelle Nicole

Addictions can appear in many different forms, some more dangerous than others, though always unhealthy in some way. When one is susceptible to any one form of addiction, even if conquered, usually leads to another. It's always easier to get over one by replacing it with another. Alcoholics can give up their ways only to find cigarettes as a vice to replace that one hole. But why do addictions exist? Perhaps that one hole we all feel while in this world somehow seems easier to deal with when we obsess about a habit. As the band Plumb puts it, there's a God-shaped hole in all of us. How do we fill it? Do we use religion or some form of spirituality? Do we seek love unendingly? Do we meditate? One thing is for sure, we all feel the hole and whether or not we choose to be healthy about it, we will do anything to fill it.
