Toe Juice joins Buy Idaho

Toe Juice is a fast drying liquid, which refreshes, soothes, and softens dry cracked feet, in addition to stop itching, burning, and annoying irritations. Toe Juice effectively treats most skin problems in just a few treatments.

In 1970 Royce Garner, a high school chemistry teacher in Boise, Idaho, produced his first batch of Toe Juice. His endeavor began when his infant son had flaking, dry, cracked feet. The many lotions, creams, and medicines were ineffective in solving the problem. So Royce did some research, went to his lab, and came out with a revolutionary new product. Not only did it fix and prevent further complications with his son’s feet, but over the next 37 years many friends, family, and acquaintances have benefited from the strength of Royce’s Toe Juice.

The Fabulous Chancellors; rocking 'n' rolling for nearly 50 years

Click here to see a video clip of  the Fabulous Chancellors

From their web site....Beginning in 1959, The Fabulous Chancellors have enjoyed nearly fifty years of recognition as a classic rock 'n' roll show and dance band. With nearly thirty original recorded songs on five completed album collections, The Fabulous Chancellors have also distinguished themselves on record, two of which, "Diamond in the Sky" and "Hey Girl," achieved regional airplay and popularity in the early 60's. Two 1990 recordings, "(Me and My Baby Like) Old Songs" and the tongue-in-cheek "I'm Cool" achieved national airplay. The band's most recent CD, Anthology, 1990-2006, features the band's most popular tunes from that period as well as original songs and live performances.

In the early 60's The Fabulous Chancellors rocketed to fame in the Northwest with their high-energy rock 'n' roll presentation. Based in Boise, Idaho, the band played sold-out local and regional teen clubs, leading to show performances with rising recording artists on tour as The Cavalcade of Stars. Although this original group disbanded in 1969, the banner of The Fabulous Chancellors remained an undying memory in the minds of countless fans.

In 1989, with the blessing of the founding members, Ross Miller re-formed The Fabulous Chancellors with one-time Chancellors bassist, Lou Mathews. Joining them were Joe Baldassarre and Grant Green, who filled out an all-Boise lineup, and the band was on its way once again. A 1990 reunion event that included the founders of the band created such excitement among area Chancellors’ fans, that the venue was filled to “standing room only” as a testimonial to the band's lasting legacy.

Since that time, The Fabulous Chancellors have enjoyed continuous success in their home state of Idaho, and beyond, including repeat appearances with the popular Concerts at Sea Oldies Cruise hosted by Boise radio icon, "Big Jack" Armstrong, and sponsored by the regional travel giant, Harmon Travel.

The Fabulous Chancellors have been honored to work with, or open for some of the most famous recording artists in all of rock 'n' roll, including Merrilee Rush, Brian Hyland, Mark Lindsay, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Tokens, The Diamonds, The Byrds, The Turtles, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Bill Haley's Original Comets, and Bill Pinkney's Original Drifters, in addition to many others.

Since the band's inception with Tom Lowe and Dale Rich in 1959, there have been over 30 musicians in the Chancellors’ fraternity. Despite personnel changes, the format and purpose of The Fabulous Chancellors has remained constant: to provide the best possible entertainment for each and every fan, and to keep the memories of good times rock 'n' roll alive and well.

The current lineup of The Fabulous Chancellors is: Ross Miller, Joe Baldassarre, Jamie Jensen, Jon McKay, Stephen Baldassarre and Chas Bauer.

Mike Green is this Week's Buy Idaho Member of the Week at KIDO 580 AM

This week's guest on KIDO Radio is Michael Green, CEO of  Project KOPEG.  

Project KOPEG. was an idea born at the kitchen table of founders Mike & Josi Green.  While working for a wireless cell phone carrier, Mike heard a question over and over; "what should I do with my old cell phone?" A question that had no official answer from the wireless carriers except to use it for a paper weight.  

Combining the idea of environmental responsibility and philanthropy the founders put together a company with a win-win solution for our environment and worthwhile causes.  In its first year Project KOPEG. made amazing strides and recycled tens of thousands of cell phones.

In 2007 the company expanded their e-waste recycling program to include recycling cell phones & chargers, computers, ink cartridges, PDAs, digital cameras, Mp3 players and virtually all electronic waste.
