Send us a text Full disclosure. My wife, Marcy, went to High School with Barry Polisar. They were friends and Barry would sometimes play his songs for her. So, when we went to Marcy’s 25th high school reunion I was able to put a face to the name. Marcy had made me aware of Barry and his success as a writer and performer. Frankly, I was more than a little jealous of Barry and his success, making his living as a songwriter and performer. I have been writing songs since high school and had had p...

5-10 Barry Louis Polisar - Part 1
Send us a text Imagine that you write and perform your own children’s songs. For years you have been performing these songs in various schools and school systems across the country. Songs that you wrote and have been playing in the same schools for years. And then imagine that someone in the school system suddenly decides that your songs are not appropriate for children because they encourage bad behavior. Then another school system hears about it and they ban you and your songs as well? Soon...

5-9 Tret Fure - Songwriter, Performer, Teacher and Sound Engineer - Part 2
Send us a text How do you summarize the life work of an artist? How do you condense and focus on the essentials of an artist’s entire career? Especially when confronted with a body of work as large and varied as Tret Fure’s. Like her namesake The Furies, Tret is sometimes angry, beautiful, and dark. A warrior whose flaming sword is her voice – and whose shining shield is her wit and the inventiveness of her writing. She comes flying in on her guitar steed ready for battle with red eyes ...

5-8 Tret Fure - Songwriter, Performer, Teacher and Sound Engineer - Part 1
Send us a text This episode’s artist career spans the decades since the early 70s all the way to today. With 18 albums and hundreds of songs, she has continued to grow and evolve over the years. Her talent and advocacy are second to none. To say she is prolific is an understatement. One of the hardest working people I know, she continues to record, tour and teach, live and online. From the first time I met Tret Fure long, long, ago I fell in love with her voice, her guitar, and her son...

5-7 Tod Pronto - Singer/Songwriter, Cartoonist, and Internet Sensation
Send us a text Waaay back in August of 2018 I was attending a Livingston Taylor songwriting and performing retreat at Boston University. We spent the day working on our songs and performance with Liv, Vance Gilbert and Melissa Ferrick. After dinner we all got our instruments and had an informal song swap in the main meeting room. This was kind of a round robin sort of thing where each of us would play a song and then the next person would play and so on. There was one guy who had been pretty ...

5-6 50th Episode Spectacular!
Send us a text Over the past three interviews and five episodes, I was beginning to get the feeling that we were drifting too far afield of the original intent of this podcast. That is writing and performing songs. However, each of our subjects are song writers. Mark Baxter our Vocal Behaviorist has been writing songs all along since he started in rock bands in the last century. Yaron Gershovsky, band leader of the Manhattan Transfer, is constantly writing and publishing new, original ...

Send us a text What is it that makes one a star? Is it talent? Is it perseverance? Or is it just plain hard work? Perhaps it’s all three. We’ll discuss this and much, much more in this episode’s conversation with Debra Monk. When I was studying Theater in College at what is now Frostburg State University in Frostburg, MD. Our Acting teacher, Dr David Press, would give us acting exercises to perform. Often, he would hold up the example of how Debra Monk, or Deb, as he called her, performed a p...

5-2 Mark Baxter - Vocal Behaviorist - Part 2 - Origin
Send us a text Back in the ‘60s and early ‘70s I lived in a suburb in Maryland just over the line from Washington, DC. As it happened when we moved there in 1964, the neighborhood was largely white. Around 1969 I started forming Rock Bands with my friends. We listened to top 40 and played the songs we liked, and could play. I was only 15 at the time and was too young to play in clubs, but that would come later. When we first moved in only about 5% of the neighborhood was non-white. Over the n...

5-1 Mark Baxter - Vocal Behaviorist - Part 1
Send us a text Singing is your birthright. Everyone can sing. Some of us are wounded by our experiences, by the negativity of others, and believe we can’t sing. But all of us can sing. Singing is a window to the soul. Singing with others provides a depth of emotion that is rarely, if anywhere else, experienced. Group singing can be joyful or happy, smiling or laughing as you sing. Or it can be deeply sad or mournful, empathy is built into our nature. Grief is especially powerful when ex...

My paper route wasn’t near my house so the route distributor, that’s the person that delivers the papers to the paperboy, would drive me and my friend Charlie up to our routes. After we were done, he’d come back and pick us up and take us home. But while we were waiting for him to pick us up, we’d read the paper as there was sometimes a paper or two left over. Of course, we always went right to the comics an...

4-8 Greg Chastain - 2 - Writing the Song
Send us a text When people ask if the lyrics or the music comes first when writing a song, I say, "Yes, it’s both". It’s very seldom that I’ll have the concept of the song and the lyrics written before I start writing the music. Songwriting is a messy business. You bring together a bunch of disparate things into a cohesive whole and the process can be a little convoluted. It becomes more complicated as you add others to the process. Also, you can’t be too critical of what you are doing ...

Greg has not only been a musical influence, including Musical Theater, but he has also inspired me and many others to donate our time and skills in a very worthy pursuit. When I was about 25 years old, I did this prosperity workshop thing. Mainly because I wasn’t very prosperous back then. I was lucky if I could afford toothpaste, much les...
