Be Well
You got to love a band with members named Clem, Bullfrog, Princess Petunia and Rattle Trap! On this episode of Applause we introduce you to the music of the Smokin' Fez Monkeys. And we'll find out how local painter David Butrum draws on his life experiences, to create unique cityscapes. Plus in our on going series "Fighting Fat" on WVIZ/PBS & 90.3 WCPN ideastream we've discovered that carrying excess weight can lead to daily difficulties like sleep apnea, limited mobility, pain in the joints and back. But for one local musician, Colin Dussault, the consequences of over eating were far more severe....and almost cost him his life.
