I traded in my 15 Minutes of Fame for two hours of obscurity today. I was on “The Mad Scientist’s Tea Party” on local public access channel URTV today. Not taped, not rebroadcast, totally live with no sets or anything. On the other hand, I was offered two more hours of obscurity any time I want… they invited me back, open invitation. The show airs on Charter Cable in Asheville only, Channel 20, from Wednesday through Friday, 4 to 6 pm. The host, John Blackwell, has long been a fan of my music. I got to play 4 songs, and I chose well… “The Word of God” by Catherine Faber, “Shallow End of the Gene Pool” by Hank Card (Austin Lounge Lizards), “The Seven” by Michelle Hansard, and later “Fisherman’s Wharf” by Stan Rogers. They kept asking me if I wanted to play more… John knows me better than that, get me going and you can’t shut me off… It was loads of fun, and John did record to DVD and might get me a copy later. I never know how MUCH later, you can’t really hold John’s feet to the fire and expect results.<\/p>\n
