I’ll be doing three live performances of my new Christmas musical play Whisper, Pray, Make Room this December. It’s kind of like Charles Dickens “Christmas Carol” meets Eric Bogosian’s “Talk Radio” meets a crazy steamboat musical. My Scrooge is a virulent talk radio host named Steve “The Sledgehammer” King. He’s bitter, his audience hates …
I was eating lunch and listening to R&F and Ron started singing along as Fez did a live read for Penny Stock Chaser. I was trying to redo what Ron was doing, but after I sat down at the piano I couldn’t really remember. ha ha.

Lois isn’t feeling well so Sam & I took a drive to Campton Cupboard to get her some soup and orange juice. Along the way Sam asked some questions about growing up – specifically wondering why he can’t “feel” his body growing. [audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bigfeet.mp3]
I thought this was just going to be a voice with piano song, but then it seemed a little lonely so I added some strings and other voices. I always worry about overproducing stuff or turning it into shiny glass cause it’s natural to want to keep throwin stuff in there, wall-of-sound-like cause who really …

[audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Owls1.mp3] We got maybe 20 yards away from the one in the photo. He didn’t seem to mind us there. …
Building the set. Whirligig desk. Hidden piano. Secret lights. Some steampunk elements hopefully built in. Rusty whatevers and strange gears. Hoping to encase the monitor in battered metals. Going to the dump tomorrow to look in the mountain of wretched iron. Lawnmowers, kickstands, boilers, car doors, bicycles, mufflers, huge ancient sheets of sunken ship. Hopefully …
There’s an open-mic night at my sis-in-law’s place, The Practice Room, and I’ll be setting up the piana and playing a few songs. If you live in NH and want to come and play or just watch, please do! If you need directions write me at sleeves@radioghost.com. 🙂 Last night I was just messing around …
I’m putting together a one man show called “Whisper, Pray, Make Room” at my sister-in-law’s Yoga Studio – The Practice Room and I need some help. If you’re interested in theater or voice acting or just like helping – read on. “Whisper, Pray, Make Room” is a reinterpretation of Dickens “Christmas Carol” – with music …
I’m working on a new AMV about a man named Nestor Carroway who runs the local toy store in Lemon. In the front window he has the huge diorama – a really beautiful replica of downtown Lemon. If you look closely at the diorama, you’ll see about a dozen tiny bronze figures scattered here and …
