Stopover Festival Poster: Ben, Where Are You?
One of the neato things about the Savannah Stopover Festival, which starts today, is the poster contest. I just went to the reception and saw all the amazing entries (the ones that were chosen among the many submitted). There were even a couple cool ones with my name on them. This one, in particular, I think is the bees knees. (I’m a sucker for mustard, bikes, and DIY jet propulsion). It’s designed by a Savannah College of Art and Design student named Ben Gephardt.
Ben, where are you?

Jeremy Picks Up Good Vibrations
Jeremy Wheatley takes us to Creepsville while tracking for “Thugs and China Dolls.” He bows a vibraphone in search of just the right electric-saw sound.
Jim White, Aficionado of the Found
Below you’ll see Jim White, producer and aficionado of the found, recording improvisations on his homemade bell-box contraption for “Simon Says.”
Thanks to Jim, who’s producing it, the song has finally taken on a life of its own. A few months back I was toying with the idea of leaving this song off the new record, because an arrangement was eluding me. What we did this weekend was lovely, thanks to Jim, Suny, Andrew, JoJo, and Liz.
