Welcome to 2021...FINALLY!!!
Here's a fun, wide-ranging (uncensored) chat with Vicki Abelson on her "Game Changers" podcast, featuring A Shakespearean Back Spasm Story ("to pee or not to pee, that is the question.")
Back in 2020, I got to know masks!
First (pre-Covid), on "The Masked Singer"
My "Audition" For Dick Van Dyke
Then (8 months into Covid), a public plea for EVERYONE to don a mask!
I also got to play in another "Neighborhood"
I actually got to whistle while I worked on this. And sang. And had a ball! Now available.
Here's some improvised whistling to the album's title tune
My Broadcast Singing Debut From 1981
This aired on WHEB-FM in Portsmouth, NH, where I hosted a nightly show from 1980-1983. A parody of "Bette Davis Eyes" and a celebration of caffeine, it had no connection to the Bruce Baum version released later with the same title
On the acting front, I took a Twilight Zone-ish trip...

Enter the world of The Messenger
Some Backstory
Here's the trailer for the Ben Shelton-directed Netflix film "Candy Jar." Such a great cast including Sami Gayle, Jacob Latimore, Helen Hunt, Uzo Aduba and Christina Hendricks. Ben cast me as curmudgeonly Principal Nelson. It was on this production that he & I decided to work together again on what became "The Messenger."
About The Messenger
Meet The Messenger
He's tired and about to go rogue
You'll Know Why He's There
He's handing you an envelope. It has YOUR fingerprint on it. But IN it...
He's The Messenger of Death
...is the news few people want. The news of when you'll die.

Jill offered to re-record it (she mispronounced my hometown "Hay-Vrill" as "Have-a-rill") but this tune is too good not to share. I love it.
One More Thing Before You Go
