Someone asked for links to my appearances on Whad’Ya Know? I’m pressed for time but I think the Coop show is here and show with the Long Beds is here.
My first ever appearance on the show here. (I’ll never forget how Michael Feldman put me at my ease by recognizing my reference to dead emus).
And here’s the one where I talk about the kidney stone.
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’ll be shooting the breeze with Larry Meiller at 11 a.m. (or shortly thereafter) today. Info on Larry’s show here, listen online here.
UPDATE: If you’re new here, or looking for Tent Show Radio info, here are a few links.
I’ll be shooting the breeze with Larry Meiller tomorrow at 11 a.m. CST (or shortly thereafter). Info on Larry’s show here, listen online here.
Yesterday morning while standing in my little room over the garage looking out at a living landscape of sun-fired hoar frost, I did a phone interview with Susan Littlefield for the “Inside Ag” program. The interview will air in a couple of installments, the first of which can be heard here (or here) at 8:30 a.m. CST. We had a nice chat and I found out Susan has kin-in-laws up Turtle Lake way. And I went to school with some Littlefields.
Tonight I’ll be hauling my International Guitar over to the Red Parrot to play some of my songs with Sue Orfield and her crew. We rehearsed in a garage the other night (a Wisconsin garage with a heater that blows like the Devil’s own hairdryer). See y’there, if yer there.
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.
