Before I get started I want to thank Harriet Corvine for interviewing me, MJ.
Hank Cotton has been interviewed a few times, but this was the first time anyone asked ME. And I am truly grateful🙏 Here’s her post on Short Stories & Tales. Harriet does such a wonderful job highlighting many great authors!
Now, for the rest of the fun! I had such a wonderful time visiting with Harriet, we could’ve gone on for hours! She asked some great questions, and I’ll be using clips from that interview for a long time to come. But that wasn’t my first Live of the week. Below is my Ad for the Jukebox song prompt this week.
I didn’t expect to have my little partner with me — too bad Substack cut it from the Video🙄. So, I deleted it instead of publishing it. That’ll show’em!
Now this next one is an interview with Colin Gillman, aka- Good Boy Records. If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ll remember Colin from Sending the Sun, which was published back in Febuary.
Well, he and I have become fast friends. I’m a huge fan of his music and his writing, and am so stoked that he decided to use an original song for this week’s song prompt. His Headliner submission — a memoir story behind the songs origin — was absolutely amazing! Below is my interview with Colin, we talk about the song, the story, a vacation in Spain, and how Spanish Elvis inspired Colin’s next chapter of life. Amongst other things… 🤭
Speaking of other things…
“I may have gone on a bit,” he said.
Now, for newer readers, it is important to understand that the phrase “gone on a bit” has a very specific meaning inside Good Boy Records. It does not mean “slightly over-excited.” Nor does it imply “mild over-explanation.”
Y’all I’m not kidding when I say that The Polk Incident is the funniest thing I’ve ever read. I had to stop reading five or six times to wipe my eyes and blow my nose!😭 I literally almost 💀from laughter! Maybe Colin got a little long winded, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as he’s made it out to be. I know I do the same thing when someone asks me about my art. So keep it coming Colin, next time I’ll forgo the time limit!😉
Oh yeah, did y’all notice the name of the title of that piece? 😁 World Famous.
