Episode #28: Gary Lewis Telethon


In an episode first aired on Labor Day September 3rd, 2007, “Come To The Sunshine” #28 was host Andrew Sandoval’s first ever Gary Lewis Telethon!

The show features more than two hours of nothing but the best of Gary’s criminally underrated recordings (such as selections from his great later period albums like “I’m On The Right Road Now,” “Listen” and others). The show’s goal was for Gary to get his critical due and never ROCK alone!

Nevertheless, this irreverent program is not affiliated with the former Jerry Lewis Telethon. Information can be found for that at http://www.mdausa.org/telethon/.
