Welcome, friends! I hope you enjoy this conversation with my new pal and legendary rocker, Norman Greenbaum @normangreenbaummusic - Norman is a musician, singer, and songwriter from way back East and a long time ago. We had an unlikely chat about flies, the absence of snails in Alaska, the presence of snails in California, growing up in Boston, MA, "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago," our mutual friend, Erik Jacobsen @erikstravels2161  and, of course, Norman's life in music. It was an honor and a privilege to hear a tiny snippet of his tale.

It was a visit from a friend and the passionate fandom foaming in the wake of author Philip K. Dick that gifted me the opportunity to meet today’s guest, Jeff Laprade. Jeff is an engineer, a poet, a writer, and a thinker working on what I can only describe as magic with magnetism. While he isn’t able to tell us what he does, where he does it, or for whom he does whatever it is he gets paid to do, he does share intriguing insights into science and the absolute mystery of magnetism. I’m happy to bring you more audio evidence of just how little I know about the physical world by introducing you to someone who knows a great deal more about almost everything.

Say hello to my creative friend! Mr. Jon Carling is a multi-talented, multi-disciplinary sweetheart. He's an illustrator, animator, writer, musician, woodworker, entrepreneur, and full-time creative. Not satisfied with simply drawing all day, Jon recently opened a fantastic shop/gallery around the corner from my house called Carling Arts. At five feet wide, It might just be one of the most charming tiny creative spaces I've seen.

Say hello to my little friend, Marie Sebastiano! I met Marie through my friend and Marie's delightful daughter, Carol. Carol has been telling me for several years that I should meet and interview her mom—she was correct! I fell immediately in love with Marie, and I think you might as well. Enjoy this free-range conversation that begins in Brooklyn in 1935, strolls through Las Vegas in the 1970s, and slowly rolls it into South Florida in 2024.

Whoa! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to present Mr. J. Cobe! A man who, if not prodigious, is at least prodigiously loquacious. I truly enjoy being in J's company. He is a writer, a storyteller, a builder, a helper, and a man quixotically fixated on leading a weird life, squares be damned! I hope you enjoy it; I sure did.
