BSJ030: Take 2 1/2

I had recorded an entire episode and part of a second episode last week. But alas, my iPod somehow became corrupted, and I had to talk about here what I talked about then. Sad, because I had some really great stuff! Talked about my involvement in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, held last week at Montclair State University, on a team led by Cindi Merklee, plus the screening of a short film I produced, "The Collector's Item," and Q&A with director Bill Clemis. Plus I answer a question from Wayne from Sparetime Radio, and TV's Jorge Garcia (from LOST) answers my question on his podcast, Geronimo Jack's Beard.

BJS029: Have Drum, Will Travel

This morning I schlepped my bass drum across three trains to Tarrytown, NY for a parade with my band, The Tappan Zee Bridgemen. Along the way I discuss my recent "spring break" with my son, update the progress of "The Miracle Man," and discuss the finer points of Passover. Please donate to my efforts in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life!

From Seder #1: If we had lamb but not green beans, it would have sufficed us. If we had green beans but not tsimes, it would have sufficed us. If we had tsimes but not matzoh rolls, it would have sufficed us. If we had matzoh rolls but not egg noodle kugel, it would have sufficed us.
