New album in the works!
I'm going into the studio for half a day later this month to get started on a new album!
It's literally be 4 years since I released a full-length album.
I'll be working the the amazing Bob Malone (again!). More updates after the session!

So much fun at NERFA! (Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference)
I had a bunch of showcases, saw a lot of old, dear friends and enjoyed the bunch of us singing at the top of our lungs at 3am in the hallways (not sure the other hotel guests enjoyed it as much as we did…)
Particularly enjoyed performing in the Saturday afternoon showcase with The April Fools! (Buskin & Batteau, Christine lavin, John Forster, and Me!). There may be pro video forthcoming…

The Funny is Female Festival was a lot of fun. Loads of talent, great venues, really well organized!
And I finally got to meet the hilarious Patti Vasquez (you may have seen her on the Virtual Comedy Show, but you really gotta see her do her thing in person!). While I was out there, I did a brief appearance on Patti's radio show (620AM , the Patti Vasquez Show! 5-7pm Central every weekday), as well as guesting on Bill Larkin's awesome Parody Song Improv Twitch stream and, of course, appearing as part of the fest on Thursday and Friday (and I got to see a bunch of Chicago area friends!)

I'm in Chicago!
Last night (Oct. 22), I was a live in-studio guest on the hilarious Bill Larkin's Parody Song Improv livestream. I don't know about the viewers, but we had a blast! Thanks so much to our friend Kevin Connelly for making this happen.

The April Fools performing on the main stage at the 2025 Philly Folk Fest!
The fest is back in all its glory!
We had a wonderful time, though we were without David Buskin this time (he is recovering from a bout of COVID). Christine Lavin even talked me into twirling batons together, even though she is a much better twirler. She is just a very generous, inclusive, playful person, as many people know. I pulled out my 3 tricks I learned when I was about 8.
Caffe Lena April 17, 2025: The April Fools!
with Christine Lavin, Buskin & Batteau, John Forster, and Carla Ulbrich
We had a really fun show and a great crowd at the legendary Caffe Lena. We captured video of this show for posterity and will let you know when and if that becomes available.

What a fun time in Los Angeles, attending Dr. Demento's birthday party, hanging out with dozens of comedy musicians and singing a tribute song to Dr. D. that Bill Larkin and I co-wrote. We capped off Saturday with a stupidly fun “Comedy Song Night” show at Kulak's Woodshed in Hollywood, with me, The Toiley, Bill Larkin and Henry Phillips.
Here's a video of me and Bill performing “Let's Get Demented” at Dr. Demento's birthday party:
Sunday morning, a bucket list item: hike up to the site where MASH was filmed (in the Santa Monica mountains)!
Then a nap, and another comedy music who's who party.

#5 most-requested in-studio recording of all time on Dr. Demento!
Dr. Demento has recorded 100s of songs in his studio over the 54 years of his show, and my song “If I Had the Copyright” (the F word song) is the #5 most-requested of those- of all time! It is truly an honor to be in a top 5 with “Junk Food Junkie” and Weird Al! (Also, “Here Comes Menopause” was the #3 most-requested song of the week this past week. A two-fer! And a Happy birthday to the Dr., whose birthday is April 2.

Happy New Year!
I'm so pleased to tell you my guitar is fixed- the Tak is “bak!” Much gratitude to our luthier (guitar fixer), Leroy Aeillo, who also repaired the Tak several years back after the airlines smashed the top. If you need a top-notch guitar repair guy in the NJ/ NY, eastern PA area, look no further.
Armed with my old Takamine friend (and Joe!), we had 2 really fun shows at the Argyle theater on New Year's Eve (then as we left the theater, we got absolutely drenched in a rainstorm while standing at a crosswalk. Now (because it got soaked), my direct box doesn't work! That's a little easier to replace and I'm not as attached to it).

Very pleased to announce I took 2nd place in the Ladies Room Comedy Festival in Harlem, NYC on Dec. 8. Lots of very talented, funny ladies competing (over 30 were selected from many entries to compete at the festival). The festival was held at a great little club called “Comedy in Harlem” - really nice room with a great vibe.
