Coming two weeks from today: The interview. Talking to Todd Rundgren, live from Hawaii. Todd is performing every song from Todd and Healing Sept. 8 at the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts in Muskegon, one of only six dates in the U.S. for the tour. That's right, only six performances in the whole country, and one is in Muskegon. Can't figure that out, but I'm not complaining. The band for the tour hasn't been announced, so that will be a part of the interview. The writeup will be for the Muskegon Chronicle, though I'll also be doing a different article concentrating on the fusiony/prog/futuristic side of his music over the years for Progression Magazine, the Quarterly Journal of Progressive Music. On better newstands across America.
Today was not music interviews, but chocolate. Interviewed Mimi Wheeler, owner of Grocer's Daughter Chocolates in Empire. She made a name for herself by infusing her chocolates with oddball things like basil, rosemary and lavender. Truthfully, I found them more interesting than tasty, but they made a name for her. Newer concoctions including smoked sea salt and chili peppers are way better.
In sad chocolate news, Jacques Torres in Traverse City is closing its doors in just over a week. What a downer.
