VAN GOGH FEATURED!!
     Tonight (Sunday, January 3, 1999 - 9:00 PM Eastern Time) On A
Roll interviews the rock band "Van Gogh," featuring Robby and Ricky
Heisner.  "Van Gogh" was recently given a song called "Van Gogh" by
"The Artist Formerly Known As Prince."  In this interview, we will
explore the inner drive that the Heisners have which keeps them
focused on their passion.
     Callers to 1-800-298-8255 during the show win a free "Van Gogh"
CD or a promotional copy of Microsoft Office 97 or Microsoft Encarta
99.
     With their dark granny glasses, black coats, and super fast,
bright yellow, wheelie-poppin' power chairs, they're distinctive in
appearance as well as sound. They roll, glide, spin and pivot to the
music, occasionally taking a ride out into the audience and back. "I'm
confined by the size of the stage, not by the chair," Robby says. Live
concerts involve a complex light show. Van Gogh's sound is also
distinctive. It's hard to hear them without thinking Beatles. The
influence of classic British rockers is unmistakable. With tight
harmonies, memorable melodies, psychedelic instrumental explorations
and a groove that varies from mellow to jamming, the music is both
inviting and challenging. "We like songs with melody and harmonies. It
should be a fun, positive experience, not mad at the world, hating
life," says Robby. Each brother sings lead on certain songs. They
combine their highly accessible music with an infectiously playful
atmosphere and their unique, quirky sense of humor. The technique
draws fans of all ages.  Visit their web site at
