Thanks to Long Beds bass player Chuck, who got me this vinyl beauty for a buck-fifty on the way to a show the other day. Just had a chance to study the cover art and check this out:

Got your classic Kenworth logo. But zoom in to that chrome lettering:

Then check the artist credits on the back:

Nice one, Ted.

Still using this paper clip dispenser I got at a hospital recruiting event back when I was in @uweauclaire nursing school. Mid-1980s. Your first clue? “Call collect.” You ever hear of calling “collect,” kids?

A reminder that Mike will be in Pewaukee, WI this Friday, Sept. 22nd for an “Evening with the Author” hosted by the Pewaukee Library Foundation. Advance ticket purchase highly recommended as this event may sell out. Ticketing info here.

The Long Beds and I had a great time playing the Mabel Tainter Theatre the other night. Lee Butterworth was there with his camera and put together this album of shots from the show.

Every week the Wisconsin State Journal runs “Roughneck Grace,” a weekly column written by Mike (many of the columns will be adapted from Mike’s Tent Show Radio monologues). Today’s column, “Many ways to listen” can be seen online here.
