This Machine Still Kills Fascists

let the experiment begin...

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Some of you may know me from Radio Noir, or The Second-Hand Opera, or Keep In Touch Records. Maybe you are meeting me for the first time. Regardless, thank you for coming.

My name is Pat Dougherty, and welcome to my blog. This will be my soapbox of sorts, a jumbled cornucopia of show anecdotes, tales from the road, and behind-the-scenes looks at Radio Noir and Keep In Touch Records... plus a lot of incoherent ramblings.

Speaking of that, The Second-Hand Opera and I have been in the studio for several months recording mine and Dave Afdahl's next albums. We hit a little snag after an electrical storm, and that caused some feedback. Mr. John Peters thinks we had grounding issues, but Mr. Joe Finstrom says electricity is just a million tiny Jesuses (Jesi?) running around.

I'm going with Finstrom. That seems legit...

We didn't get anything productive done, unless you count this masterpiece.

The brush work on Joe's mustache took hours!
