Some sketches from a trip to Prague in 2003…

The Fortean Times ran a series about worthwhile books from the past; my appreciation of George Jean Nathan’s New American Credo appeared in issue 147, June 2001.

This is a very earnest song; and this is how it begins.

A round, based on verses that accompany a children’s card game from the ’30s.

And here’s the game itself…

Robin Hoffman attends many performances at Brooklyn’s Jalopy Theater, and sketches what she sees.  She’s posted a picture of me with the tuba player Ralph Hamperian, over here.

This little song sometimes had a place in the puppet shows I did with Michael Smith back in the ’90s.

“Shofar Bells,” an arrangement of “Jingle Bells” for shofar and viola, can be heard over at the Holiday Recording Party site.  Meg Reichardt’s annual holiday album is a Brooklyn tradition; I’m happy to participate.  As is traditional, it was written the night before, and recorded during a marathon session among children, dogs, alcohol, food, and squabbling musicians.  You can also hear my song “The Parcel.”  David Gold joins me on both.
