Six String Concerts

Posted on August 15, 2013 by Doug Dangler

There are some great folks coming to town with the Six String Concerts this season. Check out their line up at Six String Concerts. I’ve interviewed several of this year’s line up and they were great. And – wow!- what can I say about Dar Williams? Her cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” is awesome: Check it out.

Weekly question

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Doug Dangler

So I read a new book, The Troop by Nick Cutter, the other night before I went to bed. It’s a horror novel with lots of gross-out scenes of people being eaten alive by worms, etc. It’s a fast, fun read (if horror fiction is your thing), although aimed at an adult audiences. (At least I hope it’s for adults, given the swearing, etc. But maybe I’m just old.)

Anyway, I had some nightmarish dreams that night, not necessarily, I thought, as a result of the book. But it made me wonder: if you read before bedtime, do you find that the subject matter influences your dreams? If so, leave a comment below.

I’d love to have someone do something like this on the radio show. Let me know if you know someone who could.
