Since, curiously, almost no-one has watched this interview video since last year, I thought I'd post this again, for folks who may not have watched it because they simply didn't notice it. Last winter I had the opportunity to interview my friend, Jon Fishman on Christmas Eve. We chatted for about 4 hours(!), but I edited the interview down into three bite-sized (10-minute) segments. [This is why the background gets so dark in the last segment — the ambient light at Jon's house disappeared, because I didn't know our interview would go that long — so I hadn't thought it necessary to ask him to set up any additional lighting on himself for that Zoom chat!) Thanks for checking these videos out. Please click through to this link (below), where all three ten-minute segments of the interview are embedded. In our chat, Jon and I talked about parenting, Tour, the pandemic, politics and - because I am a childhood Lead-poisoning prevention activist - we also discussed Lead-poisoning... but that's really not the bulk of the 30 minutes of published interview. Jon and I always have fun when we have the chance to chat and with the editing of the segment I took care to preserve that fun, too!
Most of the video footage I've seen is pretty bad so I can't tell who is on the drums
I started performing online magic shows back in June of 2020. At my very first show, Mike Gordon & Jon Fishman were in the audience. I decided to include Fishman in something special I'd been working on, and he proceeds to tell one of the greatest stories I have ever heard. Please forgive the low video quality. I had just pivoted to online performances and my gear wasn't yet up to the task. Either way, Fishman is hilarious and I hope you like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q_jKc36zFk&feature=youtu.be
EDIT: Thanks you much for the GOLD (first time!) and especially for the Hugz Award (also first time!). It means a lot to see this resonate with phans.
They could call themselves Fish.
Fishman spoke with the Maine Cannabis Chronicle in their last issue.
best i can find is the airing date but trying to find the episode on sling is impossible.
I’m coming down with a cold and had to drive to the 24-hour pharmacy, bout 20 minutes away. Fishman’s Errant Path kept me company on the drive, never caught the program before
I took some NyQuil and will probably be passing out soon with his program on. He’s got a great radio voice
