(TV) WFMU / A Few Qs / Shout-out to Scott Simpson
Dennis,
I didn't get home until very late Monday evening, but I listened on WFMU to
a recording/archive of that show of you and host Dave Hill on Tuesday
afternoon.
I realize you wrote and recorded "Grand Central" many years ago (I still
have the cd-r copy of it you sent me in circa 2003), but I'm curious about a
few things:
1) Who did the music behind you on that particular story/recording? (I
thought they were very good?
2) How many takes did it usually require to get a 10-minute piece like
"Grand Central" completed? I.e., if you made a mistake/vocal-slipup while
recording could you salvage most of the earlier part and then later edit
different pieces together to get a seamless result? Or were you able to do
it perfectly on the first take? (Obviously, no retakes in a live
performance!)
3) Going back to the band/music on "Grand Central": it seems to me that
getting the right tempo is very important to your performance(s)/stories. I
thought the tempo on "Grand Central was faster, and fit and propelled the
material/story perfectly.
I definitely hear a Jim Carroll (of "Catholic Boy) milieu in your work.
'Funniest' segment for me was the store manager hanging the vomit soaked
dollar bills from your cash register on a make-shift clothes-line in his
office out to dry. It put a whole new spin on the phrase "money laundering".

PS: I wanted to give a shout-out to Scott Simpson (whose plane is probably
flying over the Arctic Circle right about now). He was nice enough to put 4
of his Velvet Underground recordings on his Drop-Box to help ease the
musical pain of losing 19 of my rare Velvet Underground bootlegs during my
recent out-board hard drive failure.

Thanks Bob, I realize my stories aren't for everyone but people that have
heard them seem to find them interesting. Lucky for me. :)
Dave Hill is a great interviewer and wants me back soon.
Dennis: Much enjoyed hearing you & your stories on WFMU. Perhaps dope-
related stories aren't every listener's cup-a-tea, or story-genre-of-choice
,but I like an entertaining story, including a good dope story, & yours are
good! Glad you're a survivor who lived to tell the tale.-Bob

Link to the archive of Dave Hill's show from last night. It went really
well. Dave's a great interviewer.
I'm on tonight, Monday night, not Tuesday night, Leo. I will be on the Dave
Hill show.
I spent about half-hour on WFMU's web-page to do a dry-run for Tues. night
at 10:45pm, but could find no workable links (or ways) for listening to the
radio station live.
All I could find were numerous archived shows/podcasts. Might I be do
ing
something wrong ? All I could get was a file downloaded to me named:
wfmu.pls.
