    Interview With Helene Stapinski at Word Bookstore 12/8/14

    I sat down with Helene Stapinski, author of "Five Finger Discount, A Crooked Family History" at Word Booksellers, 123 Newark Avenue in downtown Jersey City on 12/8/2014. The book chronicles her experiences with her family growing up in a gritty Jersey City in the early 1970's as well as the political corruption over the years and lots of other history. **It's now 2025, more than 10 years later, and there is some spooky "Foreshadowing" in this interview. I had a blast sitting down with Helene for this one! I will be doing another intereview at Word Bookseller new location in October (more info very soon). Word is now at 29 McWilliams Place in Jersey City. Check out all of Helen's work here: https://helenestapinski.com/

    Gary Van Miert is the fearless leader of "The Sensational Country Blues Wonders." His twangy mix of Gospel and Country Blues music has been a crowd pleasing staple of the North Jersey/NYC music scene for many years now. During the pandemic, Gary reinvented himself and became "The Psychedelic Cowboy." His new album "The Adventures of a Psychedelic Cowboy" is a fascinating mix of Country Blues and Psychedelic Rock. I sat down with Gary Van Miert to talk about the making of his album, the future of live music and breathing.

    Interview With Tra1n-6/23/20

    Every once in a while, I hear a Hip Hop artist that really excites me. Tra1n is currently that artist! The adept writing, smooth singing, jazzy, soulful music and his brilliant, bassy delivery make for an amazing mix, and the production is phenomenal! I was able to have a really intriguing socially-distanced conversation with Tra1n at Friggin Fabulous Studios. You definitely want to add this one to your iTunes and Spotify play lists!
