Music, Politics, Religion, Life (Sort of like this blog, except it’s audio from my appearance on radio)

You may remember that two Friday’s ago, I was on a radio show called “A Lawyer and a Cop.” It’s hosted by –you guessed it– a lawyer and a cop. It airs every Friday morning on KNON radio here in Dallas. I’ve got some audio of my appearance on the show and thought I’d post it for your listening enjoyment…

The main reason I was on the show was to play my song, “The Don’t Shop,” for one of the cohosts, Arnaldo Rivera (the cop). The lawyer, Charles Geilich, thought it’d be funny. (’cause of the line about cops at the shop, I suppose…)

Anyway, once they had me there, the discussion turned to more serious things like terrorism and Islam.

So, here you go:

Part One: Stream/Download.
I get introduced, play “The Don’t Shop,” and banter with the hosts.

Part Two: Stream/Download.
Back from a break, we talk about Islam, terrorism, religion, and anything else that floats into our heads at the moment.

It was a fun radio appearance. Really the first time I’ve connected my clergy role with my folk music role on the radio. Kind of a mind-bender at 7 am on a Friday. But overall, I thought it was GREAT interview.

Thanks, Charles, Arnaldo, and all the great KNON folks.

BTW, Charles is the “Charles” who got me and Dennise great Maverick’s tickets earlier this year. And the main reason I mention this now is so you’ll read this cool blog entry from a while back.
