Tomorrow's guests

Ok- this week we have some great guests lined up to be on the show.  Let me tell you a little bit about them...

Rebecca Pidgeon is a talented actress/singer/songwriter with a distinctive, wistful voice and five successful albums.  Her screen credits include the popular action shows such as "The Unit" and "The Shield", but she's also been in films such as "Shopgirl" and the David Mamet thriller "Heist".  Rebecca's a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and was raised in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Laura Bialis is a film maker from the Los Angeles area, currently living in Sederot, Israel- next to the Gaza strip, which is routinely a target of rocket attacks.  More specifically, she's an award-winning documentary film maker, and is a graduate of both Stanford and USC.  Laura's films focus on the modern Jewish experience in Europe and Israel- part of why she's living there now.  She's completing a documentary about the life of local musicians, who grow and work while under constant bombardment.  We'll be talking to her via Skype, and hope to hear from her during a safe moment.

Also for the show, Peter's finishing up a new 'Turtle Talk' video about Identity, and we've got a few surprises planned as well.  Of course, as with any 'passionately ordered chaos', sometimes surprises happen anyways... so check us out tomorrow night at 7pm PST, and see what happens!

The show, 1/6/09

We had a great experience at the show this week! Our guests- Barbara Hall and Troy Richardson- really enjoyed themselves as well, and that meant a lot to Peter. Everyone was happy that Andy came back; he's been playing with the group a long time, and having him back meant more than just good music!





Isaac had a nice time too- he's young and talented, and brought his unique sound to the show. We also had some great phone calls, and found some nice messages in our email box. Those are important- this is an interactive show, and we want you to connect with us!






We're cookin' up some fun things for the future- the show is gaining momentum and popularity, and that only encourages us to do better. No other musician of Peter's stature is doing anything like this, and we're starting to turn heads. So, stay tuned for next week!

Show tomorrow!

Alright- tomorrow's the first show of the year, and it promises to be good!  The guest is Barbara Hall; she's a writer/singer/producer who's credits include the shows "Judging Amy" and "Joan of Arcadia"; her 9th (!) book, "Tempo Change", is coming out in June.  She's also bringing along Troy Richardson to play bass with the band.

Also, Isaac Himmelman will be performing, and Andy's back on drums.  I'll be screening calls, too- just make sure you have something to add to the show, like questions for the guests, or a song request.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from Peter Himmelman's "Furious World"!

After a nice break, we're starting to put things back in motion... Peter's been working on a few new videos, and lining up some very interesting guests for show. Marc got a set of lights to use permanently, and has been working on the website as well.

I just got back from out-of-town, and have been catching up on CD mailings. When you go to, say, Amazon.com and purchase "My Green Kite" for your kids, or one of the Himmelvaults, it's usually my job to package your CD and take it to the post office. I don't mind it that much- it's fun to see where all the CDs are going.
