My grandfather, Smerconish, and me.

On October 3rd, 2007, my grandfather and Babe Heffron went on the Michael Smerconish show to promote their new book.

The first podcast I ever did was a promotion for my grandfather’s annual Community Dinner. I did this one late at night, March, 2006, and spent most of the evening building the microsite in support of the dinner itself (which means I was tired and actually thought this was a good idea). […]

Love, Forgiveness and the Tolerance of Man

I wrote this many moons ago surrounding Mozart’s Magic Flute while at Temple University. While I hardly believe it reveals anything new in a historical sense, it represents a time in my life when my only job was to eat, sleep and breathe music, which is enough a reason to republish it here.
