  • Citizen Doug Records Bob Geldof for Innerviews

    Citizen Doug Records Bob Geldof for Innerviews

    While at HoustonPBS, I got to record Bob Geldof for Innerviews with Ernie Manouse. This was early in the run of the two camera half hour interview show. Shot at Holocost Museum Houston, there were some noise reduction efforts required in post production in the Pro Tools Suite I built at KUHT. He was definitely…

  • Citizen Doug records Bela Karolyi for NPR’s All Things Considered

    Citizen Doug records Bela Karolyi for NPR’s All Things Considered

    I got to record All Things Considered Host Audie Cornish’s interview of gymnastic coaching legend Bela Karolyi.   It was a very busy day at Camp Karolyi, a sprawling, frumpy, yet world class facility in the heart of the Sam Houston National Forest where thousands of tiny gymnasts have gotten their shot at the big…

  • Grady Gaines “Jumpstart My Heart’ at KUHT 12-10-02

    Grady Gaines “Jumpstart My Heart’ at KUHT 12-10-02

    Grady Gaines‘ band is another family affair, with a brother playing guitar and a son playing alto. I would say about a third of the bands I recorded for KUHT had at least two family members involved. Mr. Gaines was the long time leader of Little Richard’s Upsetters and was an artist on the local…

  • Zwee “Tapioca” at KUHT 12-10-02

    Zwee “Tapioca” at KUHT 12-10-02

    I met Frank Zweback when his jam band, Zwee and the Graveberries was still holding down a night at either LLC or Dan’s. I’m sure I played drums as part of the open jam. This began a relationship of music and neighborliness that continues to this day. Frank owns several rent properties in the Montrose…

  • The Trade ‘Unison’ at KUHT 1-21-03

    The Trade ‘Unison’ at KUHT 1-21-03

    The Trade started as a Monday night jazz jam at Helios. They were able to hold a crowd and were accessible to the younger jazz players who might not be able to get past the sharp elbows of the first call jazz bullies that are typical of a jam session with the longevity that this…

  • Moses Guest “Jackson” at KUHT 1-21-03

    Moses Guest “Jackson” at KUHT 1-21-03

    It takes a certain je ne se qua to claim the mantle of Southern Rock in this day and time. Moses Guest performs its ambassadorship with healthy spoonful of that Houston je ne se qua. More than a bin box label, they are certified ‘from around here’. I went to HSPVA with Rick Thompson and…

  • Space City Gamelan ‘Jiro’ at KUHT 11-14-03

    I probably met Space City Gamelan through Matt Crawford, my A2 on Mary Lou’s Flip Flop Shop. I remember driving to the Houston Indonesian Consulate, which owned the gamelan instruments seen here, to check out a rehearsal. This was a bit of a logistical challenge. Gabriel Villalobos, the founder of the orchestra, is a wonderful…

  • Garrison Keillor on Innerviews with Ernie Manouse

    Occasionally I got to sub for Shannon Harrison (who has done the vast majority of the location audio on this fine series) or Gordon Luce doing sound for Innerviews wth Ernie Manouse, a Matt Brawley directed series. The guests are always notable and the conversation always almost a half an hour. http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/ is here on…

  • Market Square Park excerpt from ‘Art Is All Around Us” 2006 Lonestar Emmy for Audio

    Market Square Park was the original location of City Hall, which occupied the second floor of a building that burned down. The first floor was a market, as was the entire square. Diverseworks did the initial transformation in to an art park, though the empty square was always a public space. This video precedes the…

  • Drop Trio “Wreck of the Zephyr’ at KUHT 2-5-04

    Drop Trio “Wreck of the Zephyr’ at KUHT 2-5-04

    One can often tell how good a programmer is by their manual dexterity and accuracy. I met Ian Varley at a networking gathering he organized that somebody talked me into attending. He said he was interested in getting his band on the show. I said blah blah sure, what’s it’s name? “Drop Trio!” In addition…

    A 360 degree gigapan of Market Square Park taken by Douglas Robertson. Of special note is the anchoring public sculpture Points of View by James Surls. See it on the gigiapan site

  • Carolyn Wonderland ‘Bloodless Revolution’ at KUHT 06-30-04

    Carolyn Wonderland ‘Bloodless Revolution’ at KUHT 06-30-04

    This would be one of the last music tapings I did at HoustonPBS. It doesn’t take long to learn in TV that everything gets canceled. Carolyn was just about to spend a little time on the road with Bob Dylan. I met Carolyn at the staging of ‘In the Underthunderloo’. She has been a singular…
