Ramping up!
Lord Y’all! It has been a busy week!
Mardi Gras parades have started, Jazz Fest budget meetings have been all the rage, and most important, the Welcome to Nanlandia podcast is heating UP!
We’ve got our recording equipment, we’ve recorded pods (or casts) with a few guests already, but are recording the episode that will launch it all, over the next few days. So we’re still ramping it up, getting the whole Nanlandia website ready, and EVERYTHING!
You know, it’s great working with people you like, people who know stuff and do stuff and fill out all the parts of a project you don’t know. Tracy Keller and I met back in the mid-1980s when we both worked in the produce department at Whole Food Company, the forerunner to Whole Foods Market, here in New Orleans. We got to talking, Tracy had a very interesting life that fascinated me, I apparently brought something to her life, and we’ve been close friends all the way since then. She went from produce manager of apples to producer of human content, building her career in films, television and commercials and now she’s producing this podcast through her company, Cuppa Joe Media! (She’s also learning to edit these podcasts, and what you’ll hear next came as we were setting up for our first interview.)
Here’s the teaser – just so you know we are ON IT! (And you can hear the ramping!)
The Podcast — Nanlandia
Original theme music was written just for us by G’sta of So Stimulus Entertaiment. You can find more of his music at www.SoStumulusent.com.
And I’ll be back next week with the updates! Tracy’s been working on the whole webpage as well. What you clicked through to, to hear our first sound collaboration is just the beginning of all she's got going on with it. (She’s GOOD!)

In other news, for those of y’all in Western Massachusetts looking for some good warm, New Orleans kind of music to heat your bones up, look no further than Hawks and Reed Performing Arts Center tomorrow night!
Glen David and his band came and played at Elmer’s back in about . . . 2015 or 16 or so, and led a second-line right down Main Street in Ashfield!
He’s from New Orleans and will get you going just like it was Mardi Gras in Greenfield! (Well, if you didn’t have 125 feet of snow on the ground. They ain’t usually got that in New Orleans.)
Stay tuned right here, go hear Glen David Andrews at Hawks and Reed this Saturday night, and we’ll be back in a few days with the first podcast of Welcome to Nanlandia!
