1. Peaches -- Fresh Georgia
   It wasn't until after the Spanish exploration of the new world that peaches really began to make their mark. The first colonial settlers in Virginia found the magnificent trees growing wild as a result of Spanish introduction. During the 1700s, settlers planted the first peach trees in the state. The science of a peach became a fascination in the early 1800s when peaches were first grown commercially. S.H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, known as the “father of the industry,” systematically bred the Elberta peach from the seed of a Chinese Cling peach in 1879.
2. Tony Robbins
   Tony Robbins is the reigning king of motivational speakers. He has advised presidents, sports heroes and superstars. He was the first American since Reagan to speak before Britain's Parliament. BIOGRAPHY® follows Tony from his California childhood (he left home at 17) to his retreat in Fiji where he hosts his most exclusive "power building" seminars. Friends and colleagues offer insight into the man behind the message, and photos and footage offer a glimpse of his private life. And see just how he manages the far-flung empire that earns him $50 million a year.
3. Bob Seger -- Albums
   With a new album and an impending induction in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bob Seger will participate in a rare radio interview and on-line web chat hosted by RYL Friend Pat St. John. This historic program will be broadcast live from Detroit's WDTW-FM on February 2 at 9:30PM Eastern Time, with Pat flying in from New York to host.
4. Michael Bolton
   Motivational speaker Tony Robbins beware: Michael Bolton and Wynonna are out to motivate people to achieve their dreams and reach new heights of confidence. No offense, Tony, but the 8,831 fans assembled Sunday night at Van Andel Arena would much rather have heard Michael Bolton be their motivator than you. He is, after all, the Romeo of the pop world, and a major heartthrob.Bolton's fans had to wait for a good while until their favorite crooner took to the stage, but thankfully Wynonna made the wait not only endurable but highly enjoyable. The sassy, brassy former Judd burst onto the stage wearing a black, glittery, cape-like dress over a black body suit. For all her crossover appeal, Miss Wy is still more than a little bit country, and her glitzy get-up and big red hair proved that. Even though she is no Mindy McCready-ish waif, Wynonna is ultra-confident about her looks.
