My apologies if this show is a little more ramshackle than most - I was incredibly sleep-deprived when I made it, having had to emergency sub at KNON in Dallas two days in a row. But it makes a little sense that my brain felt a little crooked while I was doing a crooked show, yes?
Personally I think it all came together quite nicely, & I didn't have to resort to crooked means to make the show work. But much of it I believe was helped by the nice people who agreed to talk to me: famous author of "The Crooked Man" detective novels, Sir David Fruchter; quite possibly crooked philanthropists Leo & Cassandra Di Crew; & my utterly straight-laced spiritual mentor the Rev. Dr. Howard Gently. When you make a show with dependable guests as well as good music, it doesn't matter if it's a bit crooked. In my stupid opinion.
The show can be listened to in any fashion, crooked or no, at the Self Help Radio website. You will need this info: username SHR, password selfhelp. Trust me. The show is in two parts, the songs I played as well as the interviews are noted below.
Now straighten up & fly right!
