Podcast no 1 Another Fairy Tale

Richard Hartshorne, known to all as Dobbs, has been writing stories with music since 1985: humorous, witty, zany, funny, touching, and beautiful stories which he narrates while simultaneously playing the music on his bass violin. He’s been performing them live in crazy places like Iraqi refugee camps, Afghan drug rehab centers, Palestinian UN schools, Ugandan prisons, Bolivian villages, and South African orphanages as well as jails and prisons in the US. They require virtuosic bass playing, singing of all kinds, plus an insane number of different voices and  accents. 

Over the years he has recorded most of them and now that we’re all sheltering in place, suffering from the worry and uncertainty of the corona virus pandemic, it’s a great time to share them with the world. Laughter will help all of us get through this crisis. Enjoy!
