Ross Helco is full of stories. This man has sat behind the kit and played some of the greatest spots during the '60s and '70s. He continues to wave the flag of his mothership The Sunday Funnies.

From the Dearborn/Detroit area, Helco was a prominent drummer in the early days of Michigan's rock scene. He was even asked to perform on the Ed Sullivan show--which he and the band ended up firing their mothers over not knowing about it! His wit and wisdom continues to bring wide-eyes to those around him. And less we forget the Beach Boys in the shower story...LOL Part one of two, up next...hit PLAY!

Welcome to our FIFTH YEAR here at the MMHP in the 989!

After storming into 2026, we are not letting our foot off the gas! The Princess Of Rockin' Gospel Blues herself, Sharrie Williams, visited us in house at our Bay City Rock Legends Hall of Fame for a discussion on her inspirational career. Sharrie takes us into the workings of her beginnings, her immense European fan base/tours/awards, why she is the 'Love Bug', her history with her late husband/promoter Pops, and work with blues guitar greats Matt Besey and James Owens.

Sharrie doesn't hold back on the harshness of being a female in the industry and provides her powerful tales that have put her at the forefront of the blues and gospel touring scene since the mid-90s. She swaps tour details with Sir Fred, as they shared many of the same bills over the past 30 years. Sherrie also discusses how she likes to help children realize their dreams and why it is important for her to put all her efforts into her family and music, through God. This is one for the books for those of you wondering how she manages it all, world-wide. Tune into this episode NOW!

We are kicking the year off right--Live Bullet and Nine Tonight rip your ears off. Not just because of Seger, but because of the guitarist Drew Abbott. You have him to thank for the countless riffs, energy, and pure Michigan guitarist love. Abbott visited the MMHP in 2025 and it was one FOR THE BOOKS! Abbott left no holds barred on his feelings on the business, his thoughts on tours, his thoughts on not being included on Seger studio albums, his Third Power upbringing into the Michigan scene, and beyond.

Here in Part 2 of 2, Abbott continues to let it all loose! He also performs and has a brief mini jam with Scott on a Seger classic. Abbott discusses his most recent solo album and his last visit with Bob during the final tour a few years ago. We are your fly on the wall! This career retrospective is direct from the masters mouth and for you, our listeners. Crank up part 2 of 2!
