A Nantucket Sleighride


"Dad, when you were on the Midori how did the cook make dinner for 1200 sailors?" I asked my father a hundred years ago.

He put his sketch pen down and said, "On an aircraft carrier, cooks either carefully watch a good cook work, wing it, or use the fall back: serve sh*t on a shingle."

I'm not an organized person and have difficulty preparing a radio show with one guest. Last night I had three guests. I say with no hesitation, despite my best effort to burn the house down with me in it, it turned out pretty good.

Listen to the show at the Centanni link below:



Edward Rogers, Don Piper & Joe Hurley were terrific guests. The show was a two hour Nantucket Sleighride, the guys pulled me up and down through our tumbling nuthouse but we all hung on.
Ed, Don & Joe, please come back to the show anytime you like.




Don Piper & Edward Rogers are playing next Wednesday @ December 8th At Bowery Electric.

Joe Hurley is playing with the Gents next Tuesday @ December 7th @ Joes' Pub.






Here's some Slade to take you through the holidays. I forgot Goodbye To Jane was in heavy rotation up Ekis's house on Friday nights.




************************
On the bottom of this page you see the item that made my belly hurt very bad on Sunday night. I ran out of food but found this unopened Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus in the back of the bottom of my fridge. My weapon of choice was my left index finger. It took ten minutes. This must stop.

Something In the Air ~ Tuesday Night On Yorkville Radio






Something magical's in the air.

Long ago, once the holiday season commenced, things appeared on TV & radio that sent our spirits soaring. Rarely seen movies, cartoons, specials, & Top 45's for the year flooded the air between
Thanksgiving and New Year's. Across the pond, they got an early start on Guy Fawkes Day (November 5th).

Tuesday night on "Yorkville Stoops to Nuts," radio @ Centanni Broadcasting Network, Edward Rogers, Don Piper, Joe Hurley & I present: your favorite memories of TV & radio in the 50s, 60s & 70s during the holiday season.

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no Yule Log,

Something In the Air.



Mighty Joe Young ~ Beautiful Dreamer


Wile E Coyote, Super Genius



Marvin the Martian




Listen to the show at the Centanni Broadcasting Network link below, @ Tuesday @ 9pm

Losers Lounge History on Yorkville Radio Show Tonight @ 9pm


Ever leave a live music event with a grin frozen on your face? And over the next few days you laugh & smile out of context? I do, every time I see a Losers Lounge show.

Amanda Thorpe, Lianne Smith, Mary Lee Kortes, David Driver, Edward Rogers, Ward White, Claudia Chopek, Debby Schwartz, Eddie Skuller, Joe Hurley, Michael Cerveris, Stew, a few of the many Losers, that opened a creative door for me. They really did. Each one an inspiration along with the three Loser founding fathers below.

Today, listen to the "Yorkville: Stoops to Nuts," radio show and hear Joe McGinty, David Terhune & Nick Danger explore the historic Losers Lounge series now holding class, 4 x @ year @ Joe's Pub. We're playing Losers tunes, too. Joe McGinty is the Dean of the College of Musical Knowledge, my apologies to Peter Wolf.


Radio Show is live today @ 3pm Giovanna's restaurant @ 1567 Lexington Avenue, (bet. 100/101Sts) come by, see the show live!
