We're hearing a lot about diversity and inclusion these days (which is great!) but as we'll learn in this episode, those two words and what they stand for are at the very core of what guided the earliest days of Newport Folk and Jazz over sixty years ago, continuing to this day. And as we know, there is still much work to be done to make our world a just and equal place. Listen in as the women of Our Native Daughters share the experience of their powerful performance at Newport in 2019, their mission of amplifying the perspectives of Black American women from the time of slavery through the present, and discuss the ongoing need for better representation across genres - in particular Americana and Country - that have their roots in the black community, and at events like Newport Folk. Amplifying women's voices, and women of color, is an important part of this conversation, too, and Yola speaks on the importance of The Highwomen's debut at Newport Folk and Brandi Carlile's all female headlining set, as well as her own sense of purpose in occupying and owning space in what is currently an overwhelmingly white genre. We dive into the history of Newport and why the insistence racial equality and diversity of its lineups was an especially personal mission of George Wein's - one that he carried to New Orleans when creating Jazz Fest alongside the parents of Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe. and how that festival in turn helped to integrate New Orleans. And Colin Meloy and Judy Collins join us to talk about folk music's history as a tool for organizing and empowering the disenfranchised, especially through the voice of Pete Seeger. The fight continues to surround hate and force it to surrender. Festival Circuit: Newport Folk is presented by Osiris Media, and hosted by Carmel Holt.

Now that you've heard what a special place Newport Folk has become, let's go back in time to learn a bit more about how we got here. Guided by the founder of the Newport Folk Festival, the legendary George Wein, we'll take you to the roots of the festival with one-time Newport board member Judy Collins, and we'll hear from Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe about the role Newport played in developing the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which you may have learned about in Season 1. We'll travel from legendary moments from the festival's early history, including Mavis Staples' first opportunity to meet Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, to Newport's return from hiatus in 1985, all the way to Jim James and current Executive Director Jay Sweet first approaching George Wein with a vision for the future of the festival, which simultaneously brought it back to its roots. All of these moments have led to a stronger Newport community than ever, a place where veterans and newcomers alike are constantly working together, influencing each other, and inspiring us all to strive for a spirit of unity and a better world.  Festival Circuit: Newport Folk is presented by Osiris Media, and hosted by Carmel Holt.

If you were sitting around thinking of songs connected to The Mountain State, “Sweet Georgia Brown” probably wouldn't be on your list.It wasn't on ours either, even though we had loved and played the song for decades. But then about a dozen years ago, the late Dave Peyton dropped some song news on us at a jam session. “Hey, man,” we remember him saying with a big grin, “it's a West Virginia tune!”Of course, Brother Dave was absolutely right. Composer Maceo Pinkard, who went on to become one of the greatest composers in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s, was born in Bluefield, W.Va., where he got his education. While Pinkard wrote hundreds of tunes, including many for stage and screen, this 1925 jazz standard was his greatest one. Yes, she might have been a sweet Georgia peach, she had West Virginia roots.Bluefield BoyhoodSon of a West Virginia coal miner, Pinkard was educated at the Bluefield Colored Institute, class of 1913, and wrote his first major song — called “I'm Goin' Back Home” — the following year. (Today Bluefield State University holds a week-long festival each year in honor of its famous alumnus.)Pinkard had already formed his own orchestra and toured throughout the United States as conductor. In 1914 — at age 17 — Pinkard founded a theatrical agency in Omaha, Nebraska. Three years later found him in New York City creating Maceo Pinkard Music to sell compositions to national publishing companies.In the decade beginning in 1921, Pinkard produced a rich catalog, including such hits as “Sugar,” "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya Huh?", “Here Comes the Showboat” and “At Twilight.” Another Pinkard composition from that period — “Them There Eyes” -- was a favorite of the great Billie Holiday, who recorded in 1939 on OKeh. It was one of the legend's signature tunes when she performed at George Wein's Storyville jazz club in Boston in 1952.Meanwhile, Bix Beiderbecke, with sidemen Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman, recorded Pinkard's "I'll Be A Friend with Pleasure" in 1930.Sweet Miss Brown The song that would top Maceo Pinkard's obituary in 1962 was co-written with lyricist Ken Casey. Soon after “Sweet Georgia Brown” was composed, it was introduced by bandleader Ben Bernie. As Bernie's nationally famous orchestra did much to popularize the number, Pinkard cut Bernie in for a share of the tune's royalties by giving him a co-writer credit.While the song today is an iconic jazz standard, it was not an instant hit. Bing Crosby recorded it in April 1932 with the Isham Jones Orchestra, reaching No. 2 in the charts. Four years later, Cab Calloway sang it in the movie The Singing Kid.Other RenditionsIt wasn't until 1949, though, that “Sweet Georgia Brown” reached its peak of popularity when it was recorded by Brother Bones and His Shadows. This novelty version, complete with whistling and bone-cracking, was a huge hit, spending 12 weeks on the Billboard charts. This version is the one you might know best, because it was adopted as the theme song of The Harlem Globetrotters basketball team starting in 1952. Still today they use it for their "Magic Circle" when the players warm up, passing around the ball and displaying their techniques and dexterity.Incidentally, a decade and a half later, The Beatles even had a comic version of the song. Their rendition contains the line In Liverpool she even dared / To criticize the Beatles' hair / With their whole fan club standing there.But Who Is Miss Brown?About Miss Brown's real-life identity, as those who regularly quote the Bible like to say, well, it's a mystery. Ken Casey's original 1925 lyrics make a number of references to African American culture. His rhymes make clear he's talking about a sweet brown-skinned woman from Georgia, possibly a prostitute, some say. The second verse, for instance, begins, Brown-skin gals, you'll get the blues, Brown-skin pals, you'll surely lose.Or was Miss Brown a white lady? In 1911, Dr. George Thaddeus Brown of the Georgia House of Representatives and his wife, Avis, welcomed a baby girl. Shortly after the child's birth, the Georgia General Assembly passed a resolution stating that the baby would be named “Georgia” after the state.Years later, in the lady's obituary, The Miami Herald wrote:According to family legend, it was her father who immortalized her when he met composer Ben Bernie in New York. A medical student at the time, George Brown told the composer about his family, including his youngest daughter with one brown eye and one green eye. Bernie whipped up lyrics to a melody by Kenneth Casey and Maceo Pinkard.Lots of errors here. Besides identifying Bernie as the “composer,” note that it was the 1890s when Dr. Brown attended post-graduate medical school in New York, decades before his daughter Georgia was born. Beyond that, there is a question of propriety. Dr. Brown's offspring would have been — what? — 14 when Pinkard's song was composed. Would you really celebrate your friend's teenage daughter with a song that said, Fellas she can't get / Are fellas that she ain't met? But hey, we didn't know her, so probably we ought to just keep our opinions to ourselves…Our Take on the Tune“Sweet Georgia Brown” has been in The Flood repertoire for a very long time. For instance, as reported earlier, back in 1977, when The Flood hosted a hootenanny one summer night at the Huntington Museum of Art, an instrumental version of the song was on the set list for the performance by Joe Dobbs, Dave Peyton, Stew Schneider and Charlie Bowen. Want to hear it? Click the button below:A quarter of a century after that, the tune was still front and center when it was featured on the band's first studio album in 2001. And, as we noted in an earlier article, “Sweet Georgia Brown” was on the set list for back-to-back shows on a magical weekend in the summer of 2002. Click the button below for a sampler of the tunes we played in those gigs, featuring solos by Joe and Dave, along with Chuck Romine, Doug Chaffin and Sam St. Clair:Today, a couple decades further along, “Sweet Georgia Brown” is still a showcase for all the folks on The Flood bandstand. In this 2024 version, we feature Charlie and Sam, along with Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton and Jack Nuckols.Swing It S'More?Finally, if that's how you like your Flood to roll, you might want to make Radio Floodango's free Swingin' playlist part of your day today for a randomize set of similar tunes.Click here to give it a spin.

Ten years ago, on a bit of a whim, I invited bassist Will Lee to come over to my home studio in Brooklyn to do an interview with me for a new project I was starting: a podcast. A year or two earlier, my friend Michael Fusco-Straub had turned me on to Marc Maron's WTF podcast, and I was totally hooked on the concept of casual long form interviews among peers. At the time Maron spoke almost exclusively to comics, and I thought there might be a space for something similar but focused on music. Although I didn't have any real experience as a journalist or a broadcaster, I knew I could do it. In fact, maybe more than anything else I've ever done professionally, it was the most natural decision I can ever remember making.  But the format was a bit of a mystery. Who was I supposed to be? An expert on music? A friend of my guests? I thought maybe we would perform together. Or maybe they would demonstrate something. Or maybe it would be a document of the local scene in New York - in the early episodes I asked my guests “where are you coming from today” and “where are you going after this”. Actually, those are pretty good questions. Maybe I should go back to asking them again.  I spent a month futzing with my Will Lee interview, carefully editing each pause and “um”, working and reworking the introduction. I designed a crude logo based on a Google Earth image of my house in Park Slope, and built a website on Squarespace.  I posted the episode and sent an email to my friends to explain the new project. I wrote:  Since moving to New York nine years ago, I have tossed around the idea of conducting informal interviews with musicians in my studio when they come in to record. Over the years so many great players and singers have shared tremendous insights and history with me, and it seemed like such a missed opportunity not to record it. Of course, everything changes when the “red light” is on, so the question for me became how to maintain that same level of spontaneity and candor in a somewhat more formal setting. Then I sat nervously with a pit in my stomach, not knowing what I had just done. Would anyone like it? Would anyone care? Was I any good at it?  Ten years and 268 episodes later, I continue to refine, to tweak and futz, to agonize and scramble to the finish line every time. As I write these words it is 12:30am, and I sit in my darkened studio - essentially an extension of my bedroom - with my wife, Amanda asleep just a few feet away, and our daughter asleep in the next room. That is to say that The Third Story has become an extension not only of my life, but of my entire household. Fortunately the initial nausea has passed but it has been replaced by a constant sense of urgency to get the next episode finished.  I have also developed a style, an unstructured but intentional approach to talking to people, in search of a narrative thread in each journey, an attempt to get somewhere together. Sometimes it's more technical, sometimes it's more esoteric, sometimes it's personal. There is no real theme to the show, and there is no real dogma. If it's interesting to me, the hope is that it will be interesting to others too.  The good news about an ongoing show like this one is that there's always another episode to make, so you can never get too precious about any of them because there will be more. The bad news is the same as the good news: no matter how much time you spend on one episode, or how good it was, you still have to make another one, and you're probably already behind schedule. The project has become a way of moving through both space and time for me. It provides a kind of structure when I travel - nearly everywhere I have gone over the last decade, I have returned home with at least one interview.  Whether talking to Gabriela Quintero in Mexico, Jorge Drexler in Spain, Madeleine Peyroux in Paris, Butch Vig in Los Angeles, Howard Levy in Chicago, David Garibaldi in Oakland, David Maraniss in Madison, or Jack Stratton in Cleveland, the interviews have provided purpose to my movement through the world.  I have traveled specifically to cover jazz festivals like Copenhagen, Newport, Montreal and Umbria, and chronicled my own tours too. I have used the platform to mark the passage of time and significant events along the way. From The 2016 and 2020 Elections to the Covid outbreak, from my 45th birthday to my father's 80th, from the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris to memorializing lost friends like Tommy LiPuma, Clyde Stubblefield, Tim Luntzel or Richie Cole.  I have captured both first and final conversations with some remarkable people. I did the first long form interview with Jacob Collier in his house in London in 2014, and the last long form interview with Creed Taylor in his New York apartment 2015. Interviews with Peter Straub, Howard Becker, Clifford Irving, George Wein and Al Schmitt now live on as part of their legacies.  While The Third Story has never become what you might call “popular” it has become kind of a cult show. I continue to be astounded when I meet someone who knows the show. It happens more often than I expect, and I have made more than a few real meaningful friendships that way too.  When several years ago I was invited to publish my episodes on All About Jazz, I knew I was making credible content. When in 2022 I was asked to partner with WBGO Studios, it was an acknowledgement that I was on the right path, and when we won a Signal Award in 2023 I was further encouraged.  By the way, my logo was eventually redesigned by a real graphic designer, Michael Fusco-Straub (the same guy who turned me on to Marc Maron to begin with). Last month, on another whim, I called Will Lee again to see if he would like to meet up for a reunion and to help me celebrate my tenth anniversary. When I first talked to Will for episode one, he was still performing nightly on The Late Show with David Letterman and we talked about his career as one of the most recorded bassists in history, his early education, playing on Letterman, his solo projects… the kind of general overview conversation that has come to loosely define what I do here. This time was more casual and more conversational. We sat on the couch in his Manhattan apartment and traded quips, and I managed to gently extract some new information from him.  Then I asked my wife, Amanda, to join me to help process this anniversary in more domestic terms: how does it look and feel to live with someone who is constantly in the process of mining another life story for content and making podcast episodes? What are the similarities between her career as a yoga teacher and mine as a… whatever I am? What do raising a child and producing a podcast have in common? It was extremely entertaining, as is usually the case when Amanda joins me on the show.  At the risk of getting too sentimental, I will simply say that making The Third Story is one of the great privileges and joys of my life, I am grateful to all of the extraordinary people who have shared their stories with me, and I am even more grateful to you for listening to it. www.third-story.com www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast www.wbgo.org/studios www.leosidran.substack.com

This week on Under the Radar: George Wein, jazz promoter, musician and producer, died in September at the age of 95. The music impresario with local roots is best known for founding the annual summer Newport Jazz Festival. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Wein played piano and jazz as a child. Early on in his producer career, he opened the Storyville jazz club in Boston and in 1954 founded the Newport Jazz Festival, creating a blueprint for all subsequent music festivals around the world. Wein used the festival as a platform to boost careers and industry respect for musicians, such as Miles Davis and Duke Ellington, as well as a tool for social justice, promoting a diverse lineup of artists and appealing to racially mixed audiences. GUESTS: Eric Jackson, jazz radio personality and host of "Eric in the Evening" on GBH Radio. Jay Sweet, executive producer of the Newport Folk Festival and Newport Jazz Festival. Sue Auclair, president of Sue Auclair Promotions, a Boston-based PR and marketing firm servicing the arts, entertainment, and media industries.

George Wein opened his first jazz club, Storyville, in the early 1950s when he was a young man. He then created the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954. The festival became an icon among music festivals and influenced the way music was presented around the world. I spoke to George just before he turned 90, in 2015. At the time he was still vital and vibrant, working tirelessly to further the mission of his festival and his foundation (Newport Festivals Foundation). Although his festivals have been responsible for bringing jazz, folk and pop music to general awareness, he is unabashedly a jazzman. As he says, “you gotta stick with jazz.” We talked about his past, present, and incredibly, his future. We started out with him asking me my age. It caught me off guard, but as he explained “when you know someone's age, you know a little bit about where they're coming from.” George passed away this week. He was 95. www.third-story.com www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast

WBZ's Drew Moholland has more on the festival promoters legacy

We're hearing a lot about diversity and inclusion these days (which is great!) but as we'll learn in this episode, those two words and what they stand for are at the very core of what guided the earliest days of Newport Folk and Jazz over sixty years ago, continuing to this day. And as we know, there is still much work to be done to make our world a just and equal place. Listen in as the women of Our Native Daughters share the experience of their powerful performance at Newport in 2019, their mission of amplifying the perspectives of Black American women from the time of slavery through the present, and discuss the ongoing need for better representation across genres - in particular Americana and Country - that have their roots in the black community, and at events like Newport Folk. Amplifying women's voices, and women of color, is an important part of this conversation, too, and Yola speaks on the importance of The Highwomen's debut at Newport Folk and Brandi Carlile's all female headlining set, as well as her own sense of purpose in occupying and owning space in what is currently an overwhelmingly white genre. We dive into the history of Newport and why the insistence racial equality and diversity of its lineups was an especially personal mission of George Wein's - one that he carried to New Orleans when creating Jazz Fest alongside the parents of Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe. and how that festival in turn helped to integrate New Orleans. And Colin Meloy and Judy Collins join us to talk about folk music's history as a tool for organizing and empowering the disenfranchised, especially through the voice of Pete Seeger. The fight continues to surround hate and force it to surrender.Festival Circuit: Newport Folk is presented by Osiris Media, and hosted by Carmel Holt.

Now that you've heard what a special place Newport Folk has become, let's go back in time to learn a bit more about how we got here. Guided by the founder of the Newport Folk Festival, the legendary George Wein, we'll take you to the roots of the festival with one-time Newport board member Judy Collins, and we'll hear from Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe about the role Newport played in developing the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which you may have learned about in Season 1. We'll travel from legendary moments from the festival's early history, including Mavis Staples' first opportunity to meet Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, to Newport's return from hiatus in 1985, all the way to Jim James and current Executive Director Jay Sweet first approaching George Wein with a vision for the future of the festival, which simultaneously brought it back to its roots. All of these moments have led to a stronger Newport community than ever, a place where veterans and newcomers alike are constantly working together, influencing each other, and inspiring us all to strive for a spirit of unity and a better world.

Trying to fit Regina Carter into a neatly defined musical category is pointless. She enjoys performing many styles of music—jazz, R&B, Latin, classical, blues, country, pop, African, and on and on. In each she explores the power of music through the voice of the violin. A recipient of the MacArthur “genius” award and a Doris Duke Artist Award, Regina has been widely hailed for her mastery of her instrument and her drive to expand its possibilities. In 2018 she was named artistic director of the New Jersey Performing Arts All-Female Jazz Residency, a unique summer immersion program for aspiring women jazz professionals. In December of that year she was nominated for a Grammy for Best Improvised Solo for “Some of That Sunshine,” the title track on vocalist Karrin Allyson's album. She is on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music. Past positions have included artist in residence at the Oakland University School of Music, Theatre, and Dance; resident artist for San Francisco Performances; and resident artistic director for SFJAZZ. A winner of multiple readers' and critics' poll awards from DownBeat, JazzTimes, and other publications, Regina tours with her own group and has appeared frequently as a guest soloist, including with such performers as Kenny Barron, the late bassist Ray Brown, Akua Dixon, Steve Turre, Stefon Harris, George Wein, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jackson, Billy Joel, Dolly Parton, Omara Portuondo, Cassandra Wilson, and Chieli Minucci and Special EFX. www.reginacarter.com www.joekelleyradio.com

"Er war die Beatles seiner Zeit." (George Wein). Und der "King of Swing". Ob mit kleinen Gruppen oder seiner Big Band, ob in ballrooms oder der Carnegie Hall: Der Klarinettist Benny Goodman verhalf einer ganzen Generation, das Tanzbein zu schwingen. Von Karsten Mützelfeldt.

"Music Guy" goes a long way towards describing this week's guest, Jay Sweet. Mr Sweet is the executive producer and organizer of the crown jewels of the music festival circuit,  Newport Folk & Newport Jazz Festivals. Taking a page from The Grateful Dead splitting their concerts into 2 distinct sets, we've split our conversation into 2 episodes. This is part 1.  Founded by George Wein, the Jazz festival was birthed in 1954 and the Folk festival followed in 1959. Mr Wein invented the concept of the modern music festival. The civil rights movement gained traction w/ NFF in the early 60s. Bob Dylan went electric here in 1965, much to the chagrin of the audience. It's an understatement to say these festivals are steeped in American and musical history. Mr Sweet took the reins starting in 2009, with a famous 18 page proposal to Mr Wein. In this episode we'll discuss: processing the cancellation of this year's events due to COVID, where Mr Sweet's love of music came from, listening to Howlin Wolf at an early age, the Grateful Dead and the power of the steal your face logo, first concerts, becoming enamored with cowboy poetry and a quest to become a lyricist, working on the set of Me Myself and Irene, a mythical jam session b/w Phish and Jim Carrey,  and how his early career evolved into being the "music guy."If you love music and Del's Lemonade this episode is for you! Enjoy! Part 2 coming up next week!

George Wein produced his first Newport Jazz Festival in 1954 at age 28. Today, as part of the non-profit Newport Festivals Foundation, the jazz festival continues in stride alongside its folk counterpart, under the leadership of Jay Sweet and Artistic Director Christian McBride. George has said his motivation in his ninth decade of life is to see the festivals flourish beyond him. In this conversation, he’ll share the stage with Jay and Christian and discuss leadership transitions, succession planning, and how the brand he established 65 years ago not only endures, but flourishes.   Moderator: Jason Olaine (Jazz at Lincoln Center). Panelists: Christian McBride, Jay Sweet (Newport Festivals), George Wein (Newport Festivals).

Muziekfestivals bestaan al veel langer dan 'Woodstock'. In de Verenigde Staten werden al vanaf de jaren 1850 evenementen georganiseerd waar lokale muzikanten samenspeelden en -zongen, soms in wedstrijdverband. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden onder meer in Parijs en Knokke jazzfestivals gehouden, maar echt legendarisch werd Newport. In deze exclusieve badstad in Rhode Island zette George Wein in opdracht van lokale weldoeners in 1954 een jazzfestival op, vijf jaar later gevolgd door een variant met vooral folk en wat vandaag Americana wordt genoemd - bluegrass, country, blues, maar ook volksmuziek met Mexicaanse of Joodse wortels. Dit was de plek waar, in 1959, een blootvoetse Joan Baez de harten veroverde en enkele jaren later ook haar af-en-aan-vriendje Bob Dylan. Dylan werd er gevierd als de profeet van zijn generatie, tot hij in 1965 met een luide, elektrische set en met sardonisch genot zijn reputatie aan flarden speelde. De controverse over wat zich die zomer in Newport afspeelde gaat nog altijd door.

We're talking to George Wein, Quint Davis, and Irma Thomas about the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which celebrates 50 years in 2019. From the earliest days of the fest, when George Wein ran into trouble getting the festival he wanted to create off the ground to the story of a young Quint Davis talking his way into his dream job, we cover a lot of the first half-century of Jazz Fest. WGNO News With a Twist will take you behind the scenes to look at the impact of this amazing and iconic festival and so much more. Join us to learn about 50 years of Jazz Fest!

Tom Reney looks back at Duke Ellington’s “New Orleans Suite,” and the crucial role that Duke and festival producer George Wein played in the establishment of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which just completed its 49 th annual presentation in the Crescent City. Wein’s insistence that any festival he produced would include Ellington, who “stayed only in the finest hotels,” and feature integrated ensembles was a spur to ending rigid segregation practices in New Orleans.

Newport Jazz Festival founder George Wein talks about the 2016 Festival and the future of the Festivals that he founded in 1954.

Hey folks! I had the privilege of chatting with bass extraordinaire Christian McBride a couple weeks ago. Since this interview, I saw Christian perform alongside Aretha Franklin, Herbie Hancock and others for the White House's celebration of International Jazz Day. He is everywhere! Christian is a 5 time Grammy Award winner whose recorded on more than 300 albums and is widely considered to be one of the most accomplished and respected bassists of our generation. In his youth, Christian was a prodigy and his contributions to the music world as an adult have not disappointed. As a jazz bassist, he’s played alongside the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Pat Metheny, Roy Haynes, McCoy Tyner, Brad Mehldau, Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis and on and on. Outside of Jazz, he’s played with James Brown, Paul McCartney, Celine Dione, Usher and countless others. When Sting had the chance to perform with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he decided just to sing and not to play bass and thus, he recruited Christian — and as Sting said, “I don’t give up the seat in my band easily, unless it’s, you know, The Best.” While Christian remains humble about his own original work, there is a playful sophistication to his composition, and in that way, it's representative of who he is. In other words, even though he may extenuate the depth of his own work, that's Christian being Christian. His technical abilities allow him to push the music further that most musicians could wish for. Just a few months ago, Christian was the Musical Director for the Smithsonian Salutes Ray Charles: In Performance at the White House. Christian, his upright bass and his unmistakable smile are center stage leading the charge throughout the night. In March it was announced that Christian has accepted the role as the new Artistic Director for the Newport Jazz Festival -- he'll replace legendary founder George Wein. You can hear him on “The Lowdown: Conversations with Christian” on SiriusXM satellite radio or on NPR's “Jazz Night in America” weekly radio show. He’s a legend in his time and I’m proud to call him a friend. Thanks to Kicking Horse Coffee for making this possible!

The multifaceted artist talks about tickle monsters, songs of Joy, third story theory and Wisconsinites in Spain.
