Hello my friends – I have something truly nifty to share with you today – a product of play and learning both. Some of you already know that I spent a quarter of a century as an expert audio technician for both
Hey folks. Time for a serious dose of SILLY! (Insofar as I am eptified for same). I can honestly say that I haven’t got the slightest idea where this stuff comes from – but since I am lucky enough that it does

HEY WOW – COOL NEW SUPER-CLEAR REMIX As of July 2022! (OMG do I ever wish I’d replaced my ancient ‘cans’ sooner) ;o) So, funny thing, my back is twisted into a pretzel, my time-tapping foot was twitching in my sleep last

Here’s another bit of political stand-up, this time with the gloves off, because big lies really are not ever helpful, and memory almost always is. And also because it’s important to recognize the seriousness of the challenges before us – life or
Sorry it’s been so long, folks. Thanks to a medical emergency, life got extremely frightening there for a few weeks, and Catherine and I are only just beginning to recover our normal selves, from dire emergency mode. I’m working hard in two
Here’s a stand-up both gentle and fierce, in which I try to make a few big challenging points that some of my friends will no doubt find irritating. Hopefully stimulating and funny also, and above all, may they ultimately prove productive and

Hello folks, time for me to do another stand-up. I was planning to do some funny (and perhaps in places even inspiring) readings about teaching, but those plans were pre-empted by events. So instead, I have a heavy one for you today
Here’s something that I’ve been intending for awhile – a reading of “Magic Days” which is the introduction to my book, “Structural Happiness.” It tells the story of the night I wrote my first love song for Catherine, and I even managed
Hey folks – thanks for stopping by again – here’s part two of my getting over my shyness project, entitled “Three Books” in which the publisher discusses his various splendid offerings. Not exactly industrial light and magic (four bucks worth of green
My third book is just about here, and that means it’s time for me to build up some of the complimentary skills that pair well with being creatively relentless. You know how much fun I have playing with the written word for
