New Interview Alert !!!

Thanks to Loren Rhoads for interviewing me recently about my contribution to her collection of cemetery stories. “Death’s Garden Revisted” includes many interesting and entertaining essays, including “In the Shadow of Eldfell,” a piece I wrote after travelling to Iceland.

What’s my favorite song about a graveyard? You’ll have to read the interview to find out!!!

I’ll Cover You in My Dreams

A musician sleeps and while sleeping dreams of performing dream-vision renditions of songs he loves by artists he’s long admired. That’s the concept, in a nutshell, of my new album “I’ll Cover You in My Dreams.”

Featuring 11 covers and two original tunes.

Coming Soon.

Dream of Sailing

“Dream of Sailing” is a short poetry-film set in a faraway hospital where the narrator, recently returned from war, imagines a life at sea. But will he ever leave the confines of the infirmary?

Thanks to everyone who played a part in creating this film.  

Houston, No Problem

I’m grateful to the REELpoetry 2024 film festival for making “THE MISSING BOOK” an official selection at their upcoming event in Houston.

I look forward to seeing all the films selected to screen at this poetry-film fest.

E Is for What???

And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).

All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!

Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!

Pass the Popcorn

I’m looking forward to checking out a screening today of “This is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco as part of the local short film collection at the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival (1:30pm, PST).

My film is also playing on Dec 9 at the 4 Star in San Francisco with a group of animated shorts.

Can’t make it to SF? That’s okay, you can see the film online later in December at the official website of the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival.

Another Hole in the Head 2023

I’m pleased to report that “This Is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” is an official selection at this year’s Another Hole in the Head film festival. You can check out my short poetry film online from Dec 1 – 25 as part of Strictly Local 2 collection.

Better yet, you can join me at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco on Dec 2 (1:30pm) for a live screening of my film, following by a short Q&A session.
