Mister RadioThe Amtrak WayI’ve always loved trains, whether they were my childhood model trains or real trains, trains have been an adventure for me all of my life, so it was only natural for me to take the auto train to Florida for a visit with the grand-kids. Traveling on the Auto Train offers a unique and convenient way to explore the East Coast of the United States without leaving your car behind. Operated by Amtrak, the Auto Train runs nonstop between Lorton, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., and Sanford, Florida, near Orlando, allowing passengers to relax in comfortable accommodations while th...

Mister RadioJabberwocky v.2"Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll
First produced while studying television production in 1970 at the University of Michigan and recorded in black and white using 2” recording tape, combining puppets with live actors. The opening and closing segments of this updated color production utilize the original puppets that were used in the black and white version some 50 years ago. Ironically I started creating the Jaberwocky puppet long before the Corona Virus hit the world stage but it’s uncanny resemblance to my puppet has given me some hope that humanity will prevail.

Mister RadioWhat Is Christmas"What is Christmas", a demo tape sampled by "Mister Radio" with lyrics by Miguel de la Vega and an unknown musician. Originally recorded on audio cassette.
It was around 1970 when my step-brother Miguel Ernesto Lasso De La Vega, known as "Mickey" to his friends, began writing volumes of song lyrics. He may have started earlier with poems, but my brother passed in 1991 so I'll never know.
Watch the documentary "Stop That Bus" The Music of "Mickey" de la Vega (Video Version) for more background on these recordings.

Mister Radio“Ode to Jersey City”“Ode to Jersey City”
by John Lee Krasnow
It was 1964 or maybe ‘65, I spent time at night listening to WOR's Jean Shepherd on my vacuum tube Motorola, sometimes wondering if the people inside those tubes were really inside my Motorola. My high school friend John Krasnow had written a poem, “Ode to Jersey City” and now I was hearing Jean Shepherd reading it on the radio! Apparently Norman Kelson had sent the poem into Jean Shepherd and by chance Shepherd read it on the radio. I missed the beginning but as soon as I could I turned on my Tandberg and record...
