Gail of Erstwhile Luddite called me up a while back. Her questions took me places I don’t often go. You can read excerpts from our conversations here.

Behold the Glowing Dome
My second appearance on The Morning Blend is now online. I am most fascinated by the way the light rolls around on my head.
It was fun. They surprised me with those band photos!
Eggs, Marriage, Music, Bon Iver, Etc.
Prior to a reading in Plymouth, Minnesota, I sat for an enjoyable interview with Aaron Landry of the Heavy Table. Poor guy, I rambled like sixty. I hope he didn’t try to transcribe the whole thing. The excerpted interview has now been posted: you can read it here.
Larry Meiller Show 03/02/2010
The recent interview I did with Larry Meiller on Wisconsin Public Radio is archived here. It can be downloaded here. Once we got the phones hooked up and working, we talked about the new Long Beds album Tiny Pilot, and I took calls from folks all around, including a lady who knew my grandparents.
WUWM Interview – Tiny Pilot
Mitch Teich talks to me about albums, airplanes, and accordions. OK, nothing about accordions…this time.

Confluence
Wherever I am standing when I say it, I am from – and of – New Auburn, Wisconsin. Nothin’ without Nobbern. And these days I get my mail at the Fall Creek post office (where Shirley knows your name). But beginning in the fall of 1983 and running right up into the present, the river city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has forked me into tangents I never saw coming. That’s a story I’ve already told. What I like about this story is how it focuses on the new generation and what they’re doing. (Full – as they say – disclosure: in addition to his writing career (and dare we say it, banjo career) Andy Moore is also the Wisconsin Public Television producer who converts my bloopers into what has become known around here as “The Clodhopper Report“).
