(There’s been a slight change in plans for the live radio/internet broadcast. Read on!)

Now it can be told… not only did I just give you the “If Conditions Persist, I Will Resist” EP for an early Christmas present, but…

This Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM EST, I’ll be doing a two-hour appearance on the Serious business show on 91.5 WPRK in Orlando, FL. Those not in Florida can listen to the show live on the internet on www.wprkdj.org! I plan to perform for most of the two hours – bandmate Chris Zabriskie will NOT be appearing due to a family emergency – but I’ll be doing a solo set full of songs from all of my records, a few rarely performed covers… and of course we’ll throw in a ton of old favorites. If all works out, the set will be recorded for posterity for you and your grandchildren to enjoy.

This is all of course in preperation for the annual holday show at Stardust (Orlando, FL) on Saturday, 12/29/07. The show will feature yours truly, Chris Zabriskie and Bucket Of Nails. We’re gonna try to do a concurrent set that’ll mean that you never have to leave your seat. Except for bathroom breaks and maybe to get a drink, because Stardust has mighty fine beers. The show is free, all ages and will start around 8 PM-ish. We’ll see.

And finally, here’s something fun for you to watch. Recently a fellow named John Belflower asked me to make a quick appearance in his student film called “The Band”. It’s a really fun five minute short, and you get to see me at work. Of course, if you blink, you’ll miss me. It’s that kind of party.

All right, hope all is well, and I hope we’ll hear/see each other soon!

Love on ya,
Marc

PS: I’m now the proud owner of the first Os Mutantes album on vinyl. It’s unbelievable.
