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.
Hadn’t thought about the bull for a few years…then I did this interview with the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel.
When producer Todd Witter came up and spent a morning with me and our chickens, I had no idea what he’d do with the sound…he didn’t really interview me so much as let me ramble. When the following piece aired on Morning Edition as a “Wisconsin Life” essay, it was fun to re-imagine the morning (it was muddy and soggy as I recall). But my favorite part of the audio requires a closer listen, and is never explained: All this talk of chickens, and yet…you can hear interlopers…
I’m taking a week to just hang out with my family. We’re not going anywhere exotic, in fact most days we’re just knockin’ around the farm. But posts for this week may or may not reflect reality or current events, as I’ve set them up to publish themselves so I can be off splitting firewood or toasting marshmallows or re-inventing myself as the Chicken Whisperer.
During the recent World Tour in support of Tiny Pilot, the Long Beds climbed off their palatial tour buses (we each have our own bus, naturally – it minimizes all the vicious infighting) to appear with Michael Feldman on Whad’Ya Know? The show is archived now. You can listen here.
We play at the end of the first hour and the beginning of the second.
As we left the stage, there in the wings was my dear friend Frank. Turns out he was the next guest. I’ve written about Frank in my books…also if you’ve heard me tell the “billions” story, he’s that Frank. One of the kindest, smartest fellows I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Once his interview gets rolling and he starts talking about Wisconsin milk production, you’ll get a sense of his facility with knowledge. I especially like his cheese comment.
