How do you cover a Hall of Fame career that spanned decades in an hour? You don't, so we talked with Hall of Fame Coach DICK VERMEIL about things that gave him joy; his family, his wines, the fact that his players love and respect him, and how he was able to get the best out of his players.

Coach tells stories about his belief in Kurt Warner, his love for his coaches, the incredible story of Vince Papale, his time off the field and in the broadcast booth, his climb to the top of the mountain (winning the Super Bowl) and how active he still is at 88 years young.

What a joy and honor is it is have Coach Vermeil spend some time with us on The Approach Shot.

Reggie Williams isn't mad, he just wonders why, as do we and so many others.

But, Reggie has a lot of other things on his mind, like helping Disney create the Wide World of Sports complex, like fighting the pain every day that his body withstood and the 24 knee operations he needed. Certainly, the fact that his left leg is 3 1/2 inches shorter than his right leg and how his strength and perseverance gets him through each day.

REGGIE WILLIAMS' story is one of will, of mental toughness and gratitude. And we're honored to have him as our guest on The Approach Shot.

Sure, they are the hosts of The Approach Shot, but John and Neal were both radio personalities first. On air DJ's that spun records. So whenever a big time music act appears on the show, they geek out a little. And what a guest this week!
BURLEIGH DRUMMOND (yes the word "Drum" is in his name) the drummer and original founders of the band AMBROSIA ("How Much I Feel", "You're the Biggest Part of Me", "You're the Only Woman", "Holdin' On To Yesterday" takes us for a Magical Mystery Tour of the 50+ of years of AMBROSIA, but also talks about Alan Parsons, Bruce Hornsby, The Beatles and others that have been part of their half century of music.

Burleigh also talks about how golf was a big part of his life when he was younger and how he was able to bond with his Dad over golf.

**He also got John and Neal's jaw to drop when he shocked us with a story of one of his Dad's friends who used to drop by and teach him golf. It's NOT who you would guess.

If you grew up listening to "soft rock" or "Yacht Rock", you're going to love this episode. Or to borrow the title from an Ambrosia song, this episode is Nice, Nice, Very Nice"!
