In advance of our trip to that side of the state, WUWM has re-aired an interview I did with Mitch Teich on Lake Effect awhile back. You can listen here.
I enjoyed speaking with Kacey (she was in New York’s Hudson Valley, I was in the back room of Racy D’Lene’s Coffee Lounge). You can listen to the interview here. I think it is important to note that as I understand it, this would never have happened if not for Kacey’s persistent sister, so thanks, Maria!
Talking about music, England, poetry, not drinking in bars, and why it takes him forever to write a book.
I so enjoy being a guest on KFAI’s Write On Radio!, and today’s show was no different. I don’t mean to pigeonhole him, but host Ian Leask’s voice is a treat for me because I am reminded of England and my dear friend Tim. Today on the show I read a section from Coop honoring Tim’s memory (and the music, among others, of Bronski Beat, Simple Minds, The Waterboys, Roxy Music, Marillion, Pink Floyd, and Status Quo). I miss my friend, but he left me with much by which to remember him.
You can hear me read the section during the second half of the show, available for listening here.
But the neatest thing? Unbeknownst to me I was booked on the show with longtime acquaintance and friend the poet (and fine jazz musician) Richard Terrill. Mr. Terrill is one of the many who taught me about writing while we sat around a small corner table in a bar called The Joynt. When I walked in the lobby of the radio station and saw him there I was delighted. Even better to sit beside him in the studio and listen as he read from Almost Dark, his new book of poetry. He’s reading in Fridley, Minnesota tomorrow night.
As for me, tonight I’ll be in Minnetonka.
Word of Mouth interview.
Another interview for the Coop paperback tour, although we got delightfully off-track and managed to discuss Truck and Population 485 and the music as well. I like this blog radio business. I can yap all around the country while staring at my actual (as opposed to virtual) chickens.
