Marino & the Morning Crew

We'll all be back on Monday, July 7th. Until then, enjoy yourselves with your completely legal (wink,wink) fireworks.

Robert Marr of Deerfield Township will enjoy the summer grilling season on a new Weber Spirit E-210 gas grill from Peter's True Value Hardware in Highland along with a $100 meat package from Merindorf Meats after winning Marino & The Morning Crew's "Grilligan's Island" contest. Robert used the lyrics to Gilligan's Island to come up with his own version of the song with a grilling theme. You can hear his theme by Clicking Here

This is Mike Marino's answer to rising gas prices. While some may laugh that it's not exactly a Harley, Mike's laughing all the way to (and from) the gas station.

Here are some of the celebs that have basked in our limelight. From top left to right; Jeff Daniels, Three Men & A Tenor, Steve Lombardi (aka The Brooklyn Brawler), Heywood Banks, Ypsilanti's Justine Blazer and her guitarist B.J. Mason with the Crew, Jon King with Governor Granholm when she visited the WHMI studios, The Biggest Loser's Pete Thomas with the Morning Crew & last (but absolutely least) King's old high school band Nebula. Jon is the young lad on the right.

Brighton's "Red Echo" has taken the old 70's tune "Signs" and given it new life with their angst over spiraling gas prices. Take a listen to Gas Signs

When "Beer Seeker" heard the Howell Jaycees were eliminated the Melon Tent from the Howell Melon Festival, he created a song to the tune of Bob Seger's "Sunspot Baby". It's called Melon Tent Baby

Howell's Debi Drick sang a couple of tunes in our failed attempt to become Grand Marshal's of the Fantasy of Lights Parade. All They Wanna Do and Grand Marshal Fantasy

Justine Blazer rocked the studio with some tunes. The first was Me & Bobby McGee

Blazer also played her original song Red, White & Blue
