TestingTesting

David Ossman, of Firesign Theatre fame, was on TestingTesting last night.


Lisa, David, Barton, Derek, and Tishia

The sound archive of the show is up. Pictures up soon.

David has lived on Whidbey Island for 15 years. He lives about a mile down the road from me. He's active in the community and is a really nice guy. Sometimes it's a little hard to reconcile this Whidbey Island neighbor with the Firesign Theatre god. In the end, he's just another guy — another guy that is responsible for twisting so many young minds. After all, we're all bozos on this bus.

I never know what he is going to do on the show. The treat last night, for me, were his poems for two voices using found text. Wrap your mind around those. A great performer.
