It might not be a surprise to know I own no necklaces. I was given a necklace in the 1990s which I wore until the string broke. I saved the pieces but never bothered to put it back together.
Wishing to take a picture of a necklace for this show page, I asked my wife if she had any necklaces she could model. She said, "The only necklace I have is the one you gave me." I said, "I gave you a necklace?"
Apparently in the early days of our courtship, I bought her a necklace from some independent jewelry maker who had a stall on Guadalupe Street, "The Drag," in Austin. She put a little troglodyte pendant at the end. She too wore hers until it broke - this time it was the clasp - but she remembered where it was. She must've saved it because it was the rare gift from me - I don't think I've bought her any jewelry since then.
That's the image above, modeled by her. I have of course covered the pendant with the Self Help Radio logo. That necklace is almost certainly the only necklace in this house.
But now you have a bunch of songs about necklaces.
You can listen to the show on the KBOO web page, &
you can download the show here. Everything happened on the show is below.
Imagine if I were a famous fellow people would start sending me necklaces!
