"Paul Hodes and the Blue Buddha Band featuring former U.S. Congressmen Paul Hodes is a band with a truly unique and original sound. It’s retro-rock, folk, roots, and superb original songwriting all wrapped up into one very powerful blend. Their new CD is entitled “Turn This Ship Around” which features the upbeat and poignant Paul Hodes-penned song, The Night I Met John Lennon” based on a true story.

In addition to Mr. Hodes, the band includes bassist Jon Gabay, Dean Rubine on keyboards and New England percussion legend, Eddie “Sticks” Raczka on drums."

Todays guest George Piehl, a true New Hampshire stage icon as well as a great friend. An excellent storyteller, George has me cracking up with his tales from his days of performing dinner theatre at the Chateau restaurant and his love for motorcycles.

The Chateau was a very difficult venue to perform in because it had no stage and so it was necessary for him to improvise a setting that was conducive to his type of shows. A real behind the scenes look at what it takes to make great theatre!

I love it when a good friend comes by the studio and Wayne Asbury is one of those friends! An accomplished actor (definitely an understatement by the way) I wanted to pick his brain about his recent role in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I’m always curious about an actors process for creating a persona for a show and this one was especially dark and visceral and I’m so glad that Wayne was open about it.

I was also wanting to talk to him about his restaurant, Del Rossi’s, in Dublin, NH and how in the world he was finding the time to squeeze it into his life.
