Cleveland Rocks(Well)

Oh, Holy Night!
Zingy! Zingy! Ova-dey!

Cleveland is on the verge of playing for it's second pro title of the year. The Cavs were just too young and overwhelmed. They gave it their best. In no small part due to LeBron. But I must say, Bron, you should have bought an Indians cap. Because, the Plum City's Champs are going to be your next door neighbors from the Jake!

I am
Chief Wahoo! Note the resemblance between yours truly and the Indians' mascot. I always have. It's the nose... and the hair... and the big teeth. Anyone who is offended by that logo has to go through me. I bought this new cap today. My Joe Charboneau vintage hat from 1981 is about to bite the dust and I no longer want to wear it in public. I wore it last Sunday, then retired it. Maybe I should send it to Bron. Ha ha.



The Cleveland Indians are the shiz! And behind big old C.C. tomorrow they advance to the World Series. The Indians haven't won a Series since the Truman administration. That's the 20th Century, y'all. This is for Rocky Colavito, Andre Thornton, Lenny Barker, Oscar Gamble, Gaylord Perry, Mudcat Grant, Mike Hargrove, Duane Kuiper, Rico Carty, Neal Heaton, Ray Fosse, Buddy Bell, Herb Score, Miguel Dilone, Sam McDowell, Kenny Lofton (wait, he's still on the team!), Frank Duffy, Jim Kern, Alan Bannister, Greg Swindell, Rick Waits, Jorge Orta, Cory Snyder, Chuck Nagy, Sandy Alomar, Pat Tabler, Tom Candiotti, Sid Monge and my all-time Indian fave
Rick Manning!

Party's at my place next Wednesday when the Indians host the Rockies for game ONE! And, Steve Sherman, if you call to say "ROAD TRIP" for Sunday's game in Denver I might have to go!!!

Wahooooooooooo!!!

Go Tribe!

Artist In Bloom: The Pop Garden Interview (Oct 13)

Hey All,
I'm back from Florida. The sunshine state was great for the weekend. Lots of sun and good times with all my cousins and grandmother. Only got into the ocean once, the sea was kind of rough. Of course, it was a good weekend for Cleveland. Being in Fla, I got to watch the Browns beat the Dolphins on TV. Oceanside, no less. It's the American way, I told my cousin Pete, watching sports while on vacation at the beach. Ha ha. At least we were grilling by the late afternoon.

While I was in Melbourne, I dropped by WMEL for a guest spot on Pop Garden Radio, Saturday. The entire Pop Garden Radio podcast is up and available at
http://popgardenradio.podbean.com/. There are three segments to listen to.

Originally, I was going to go in for the first hour of the show, but wound up previewing the entire LP and chatting at length with Adam Waltemire. I hope you all enjoy it. It was fun being in the studio. We discussed the process of making "A Talent For Loving," working with producer Adam Marsland, audience appreciation in the UK, and hamster jet lag. No, really. It was also cool chatting with PGR's internet audience in real time on Saturday.

If you have a radio program/podcast and are interested in having me as a guest on your show, simply write to me.

Go Tribe!
