a video-kvetch by Phil Rockstroh and Angela Tyler-Rockstroh, May 2011

When You Come Again, You will Never Go

An Interview with Vernon Frazer
by Gabriel Ricard, with video interviews by Jonathan Penton and C. M. Penton, September 2009
"Much of my writing over the past ten or eleven years has come entirely from instinct. My decades of reading and writing experience allow me to trust that my instincts will lead me where I need to go. Once I'm into the work, flying by the seat of my pants, I'm conscious of what I'm doing, what I've done and what I will need to do to make the piece work. It's definitely a different use of instinct from what I used in my earlier, more pre-determined work."

Cry Crisis
A Music Video by Hogeye Bill, June 2009
'"Don't tread on me" hangs menacingly in the background as Bill puts his passions and obsessions into the better of the two songs available on his site. His opinion is clear and relentless, but he manages what so few folk artists seem to be capable of. He possesses the ability to throw down a very decisive view while keeping the music steady, right under the point. All the while, the song never loses sight of the necessity to craft compelling, black comedy lyrics.'
