A number of people who can’t afford to pay for an AMV subscription have asked if there’s any other way they can join. Yes! If you have web skills, are an artist, or musician or have something you want to trade, that would be fine with me. Also, I’ll also be offering a few honorary …

The new CD is called “Tourniquets & Windmills” and it features 34 tracks – about 19 new songs and then 15 of the more popular songs from “Mighty Horse” and “Peas Hode”. And of course the Christmas La La song. I thought it would be good if there was a cheaper way to get mostly …
Before the show last night my friend (and director of the play) John Herman told me that we’d probably only have a few people in the audience. I knew my friend, Rick Ganley from NHPR was coming and my Uncle Mike and Aunt Beth, so that was fine. It’s kind of a relief to have …
“Whisper, Pray, Make Room” will premiere next Friday, November 26th at The Players’ Ring in Portsmouth. Inspired by Charles Dickens “Christmas Carol”, Whisper, Pray, Make Room is a dramatic one man musical presentation that tells the story of diabolical radio talk show host Steve “The Sledgehammer” King who receives 3 life altering phone calls during …
When I was a kid I used to love to go to the library and listen to prerecorded stories. There was a small table in the kid’s section of the library and at the center was a special wooden box full of strange, baby blue headphones. The cords went secretly down into the floor and …
I wanted to write a song about Fez going into the hospital – but it’s hard because he doesn’t really like music. I kept thinking about a song I wrote a while back and that seemed to express what I was thinking.

My friend John Herman is putting together a festival of steampunk plays. He solicited songs to go along with the plays and thus I got to write a song for Leslie Poston’s play (adapted by Leslie and E. Christopher Clark) “The Smokers”. “The Smokers” takes place in a kind of 1984-like world where smoking is …
It was as though Earl himself was at the cloudy helm of Hurricane Earl. Take a look at Earl’s book…really nice. I miss him on R&F. This song was mastered, retracked, re-arranged and juggled about by the super musical, super talented John Presley.

I wrote “The Concession Song” a few days ago, but after hearing Ron talk about his recent appendectomy experience, I started singing the Concession song with new hospital/appendix related lyrics. [audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/AppendixSong.mp3] Quicktime or Download Lyrics: Well it’s appendix time, oh my goodness appendix time We’ve got morphine and catheters and crazy things I can’t …
I don’t know how to make money doing voice work or writing songs, but I’m pretty good at fulfilling the pro bono gigs. Which is not a complaint. All things being equal (and aren’t they anyway?), I’d rather do things like this, if I can. So I got an email from a guy from the …
