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.

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.

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.
