TBNK – “Midnight Snack”

bd — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:28:32 +0000

This Friday, September 11th, Mike, Tony and I will be taping an episode of the new TBNK (Telecommunications Board of N. Kentucky) show called “Late Night Snack.” It’s a performance/interview show in the mold of the old “Sessions at West 54th Street” show on PBS. These are the same folks that recorded the “Between the Pages” show, from which we’ve posted some video here. We’ll be taping this week as an acoustic trio… probably 6 or 7 songs and an interview. Not sure yet when it’ll air, but I’ll be sure to let you know where and when you can see it!

Solomon Noble and the good folks at TBNK (Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky) produced an episode of their show “Between the Pages” from our performance September 12th at the Boone County Public Library, and they were good enough to send us a copy. So if you didn’t see it when it originally aired, you can see it now!

Click the “Video” button at the top of the screen, and you can view the individual songs as YouTube videos. Check it out and enjoy!

Here’s a sneak preview… more on the “Video” page:

“Listen” EP now on sale through Nimbit store!

bd — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:16:35 +0000

For those of you who’ve been with me for a while, you’ll remember that back in 1999 I put out a four-song EP entitled “Listen.” We made 200 copies (by hand) and signed and numbered each one. They sold out in a couple of months, and since then those songs have been unavailable.

Well, with the advent of the World Wide Wassup, you can now get those long out-of-print tunes for a pittance. They’re $.99 each, or $3.00 for all four. Just click “Store” at the top of the screen, or click here to get them for yourself. They’re in mp3 format, with no DRM*, which means you can have them on as many devices as you like, and burn them to CD as many times as you like (the same is true with all my music). Heck, buy ‘em all, burn-em, rip-em, send em to your friends, your grandma, the president, the president-elect… knock yourself out. Just don’t ask me for a CD of them, cuz as I promised ten years ago, when those 200 folks bought the original copies, I ain’t makin’ any more.

Enjoy!
