Okay, we all know Mavis Staples (The Staples Singers) is one of the best R&B/Gospel singers of the last 50 years, hands down. A voice like warm honey and wine, with a little Brillo pad in there when she wants to use it.
But who knew she was hilarious?
Yesterday, by chance I tuned in to NPR’s […]
Here’s an interview I did recently with emPower Music and Arts, about living the humor lifestyle. (A great website and resource, by the way.)
Greg,sharing laughter sounds like a pretty fantastic job description, but I bet it’s harder than it looks. What is the creative process like for you?
It’s best in the shower. I pretty much […]

Since the global economy is so interdependent, the effects are felt everywhere. This can lead to worry, which without the proper fast-acting antidote can result in….stress!

I prescribe a generous […]
Every once in awhile. calling Customer Service is actually fun, but maybe not for the reason you hoped.
For accepting Visa and Mastercard to sell my CDs, I’m charged a percentage of sales, plus authorization fees, transaction fees, statement fees, batch fees, and some other fees I think they copied from the electric bill. Once a […]
It’s Thanksgiving morning. I’m dog-sitting and reminded of a funny/weird/favorite pet experience.
Near the end of my junior year in college I got a wild idea. (That’s not unusual. I get my share.) I decided I needed an exotic pet. Which is what happens when you spend all your warm, sunny college afternoons in dank, […]
My friend Harold’s two cats have the run of his place, and like many cats, they tend to get into mischief whenever they feel like it. The younger black one is especially curious, and is mesmerized by the refrigerator. Whenever Harold opens it, the black cat will weave his way through Harold’s legs, stick his […]
This is going to stretch your mind a little.
Reuben is exactly the same age as both his son-in-law and his father-in-law.
I can hear the wheels turning in your head: How is that possible? Wait, let me think about it a second….
