I chose my route to escape the winter. 

irony has my number thus far. 

music and banter in frigid hill country. 

special thanks to Greg Droggitis and Latane Hughes for providing the tunes and talent. 

nick cerilli on the program walking us through his invaluable contribution to the van 

First stop on the tour was Brooklyn. 

A massive snowstorm stopped in as well, more or less burying the van for a few days. 

The weather did not stop me from visiting some special buds, including Bene Coopersmith and Justin Christenson, who both did their generous parts to get me set up for the road.

Bene with books, Justin pants. 

And both with good cheer and friendly encouragement. 

Singer, songwriter, musician graces the program on this episode. Enjoy!

An homage to dear friend, Ted Cochran, who passed on in 2004.

With music accompaniment by the talented and generous Patrick McDermott (North Americans) with his track 'Furniture in the Valley' off his 2020 album 'Roped In'.

We released a new (and separate show) called 'Places to Be'. 

This is the intro chapter of that show, an audio documentary of sorts meant to be listened to sequentially (as in - start w. the intro, then chapter 1, through 'til the end of chapter 14). 

You can find 'Places to Be' on spotify, itunes, etc.
