Gab With The Gurus With Connie Bennett

People often tell me how much they love the voice-over artist who introduces my Gab with the Gurus Radio Show. So I decided to invite the fabulous David K. Jones, who recorded my "open" and "close" to this show. David is sought after in the U.S. and abroad for commercials, films, documentaries and other projects that need his warm, enthusiastic and insightful style. This show will only be 15 minutes long, because David is in such high demand. In fact, I'm lucky to be able to nab him at all for a radio interview. By the way, David is also an artist, who has created pieces that are displayed in private collections and galleries across the nation. He's even created unique art and commentary videos, which have garnered him a large Internet following. David's art and recording studio is located near the beach in Florida.
