Tomorrow is August 3rd and I’ll be turning 32 years old! We’re celebrating that birthday by interviewing the director of one of my all time favorite films: THE SANDLOT! David Mickey Evans was kind enough to set some time aside before his scheduled 20th Anniversary showing of The Sandlot in Colorado Springs. We hung out and talked about David’s early love of Baseball, his escape into the worlds of Star Wars and Ray Bradbury. We also talk his early career and dedication to “making it,” and of course we talk about THE SANDLOT’S 20th ANNIVERSARY! All that and more below! […]

SPONSORED BY HIGH PLAINS COMEDY FESTIVAL! August 23- 24th in Denver, Colorado! http://www.highplainscomedyfestival.com For years my former roommate, and Mostly Harmless Theme song composer: Jarrod Moore; has been singing the praises of stand up comedian Kyle Kinane.

Years go by and I hear about Kyle Kinane more and more from my friends across the country, but it wasn’t until Kyle’s performance at last year’s FEST in Gainesville, Florida that I finally […]
41 – Possessed By Paul James talks his early upbringing, teaching, and how music is just a hobby for him.
In 2011, I found myself touring with Drag The River and Austin Lucas. We worked our way across the midwest and down south to the almighty South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. I don’t recall much about our first night in Austin, as many adult beverages were consumed throughout the day, to cool off from the Texas heat. What I do remember is a one man machine taking the stage and closing out the night. That man was Konrad Wert, otherwise known as Possessed By Paul James. A few weeks later, I was fortunate enough to have booked Konrad […]
40 – Tim Barry talks about train hopping, diabetes, his newborn daughter and how she has changed his songwriting!
Tim Barry is as much a legend as the characters he creates within the prose of his writing. His character, his person and his purpose all seem to come out of a great American novel, yet he fully embraces the technology that surrounds him. Each man is nothing but a collection of experiences and lessons they have learned amongst that time. For Tim Barry, that is no different. He is a man who has conquered the roads and pathways set before him. He has traveled the great mythical highways of the world of trains. He has battled with the disease […]
