Diorama of the Golden Lion is now on iTunes and other downloadable sites.

Here’s a video I fashioned together out of youtubes and wood.

Here’s an interview I did with Big Bucks Burnett.  I first met Bucks when Mauve Oed and I went into his record store and begged him for the chance to open for Tiny Tim.  Bucks was president of the Tiny Tim Fan Club and he had booked a show called Tinypalooza in Dallas, TX.  This interview focuses on his passion for the 8-track tape.

I reached my 10th grade goal of getting in Keyboard Magazine this month.  There’s no link as it is only in the hard copy.  Next is to reach my 8th grade goal of getting into The Savage Sword of Conan.

During a tour in the UK, I played a small venue in Glasgow. Afterward, a guy named Jimmy came up and asked if I liked Jim Steinman. It was nice to hear someone mention his name rather than the fat Meatloaf reference. He wanted to take me on a tour of single malts at the bar. Some of the people at the show warned me to stay away from Jimmy, as he has been banned from most bars in Glasgow. Since I was leaving town the following day, I saw no harm in being kicked out of an O’Neills. There are plenty around.

I interviewed Glasgow Jimmy for the digital city blog about his good times as a Jedi Chef:

This is a song I wrote about the day my favorite wrestler came over and hung out with me and my friends back in Denton, TX.
It’s from the album Your Favorite Hamburger is a Cheeseburger.

Here’s my interview with Kinko of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus:

Lately, I’ve been writing for a blog called Digital City.  The cool thing about this is that I can interview friends.  Here’s an interview I did with David Hanson who is responsible for the Einstein robot head, the Philip K. Dick robot and the android skin, Frubber.  He used to produce parties where my friends and I would perform.  Here’s a pdf of the interview:
