[joe-frank-list] End of year thoughts about joe

[mandy willingham]

I think offering a selection from the show "Mercy" would be very appropriate for this time of year. It's one of my favorites. The main character is a failing writer and adulterer who travels to the northern California coast to celebrate New Year's with his blindly devoted wife. The accompanying music is lovely and hypnotic. And the story is a brilliant and achingly human mix of hilarious and sad laments. 

Thanks so much to Joe for sharing his craft with the world. I had the fortune to stumble on "Work in Progress" when I was 13, and I've been a fan ever since.

Suggestions for excerpts are welcome. I'm printing out your suggestions
- anything ranging from 3 min to 20 minutes. They will be on demand, no
logging in needed. (just let me know original show & describe story
a bit)



thanks.

    "rightful spot back on the
airways."

    

    Wait a second. .  Joe worked at an airline?

    

Just kidding, I think you meant "airwaves"

    

Anyway, my recommendation for a show:

- Love Prisoner - just awesome.

    

- The second half of Mountain Rain - where Joe assembles a
ragtag group to make an ascent up K2 with absolutely no preparation -
hilarious and, I admit - if I ever get ridiculously rich, it's the
first thing I'll do.

    

- Predator - Larry Block's monologue takes up about the first
32 minutes and is just incredible to listen to; and the second half,
where Joe has several mini monologues and the music takes a more
prominent role is an engrossing treatise on power. (the dynamic of
power, not electrical wiring!)

      First I think I need to
apologize to Joe or whoever it was in his office who alerted me that my
posting on my blog of one of Joes works would not be a good idea.  As everyone can see I removed the posting within
minutes of the notice of offence.    
      It has never been my idea to rip
off Joe in anyway I only hope somehow with efforts from  a group such
as this and other to promote Joe and his work for years to come.    
       
      That being said, a comment was
brought up over on Facebook about Ruth Seymour retiring, and someone
thought it would be a good time to consider a litter writing campaign
to the nice people over at KCRW to politely request Joe takes his
rightful spot back on the airways.   
      

Anyone have a suggestion for a good show to listen to.   ?  there are
just so many, and need a Joe fix.. someone got to have an idea,
somewhere out there.   
       
      Best wishes and happy thought to all for the new year.
