Where do I start? Well, beginning with an early artistic background, through to a professional career in graphic design, with some help along the way, I combated alcoholism, drug abuse and clinical depression - complicated by Hashimoto's Disease.

How many gifts did Santa have to deliver? About 180 million... and a lot of gifts were slated for little Rhode Island. An early delivery was 212 Hunts and Santa was late.

Now just get the pies on and wake up the kids for...

Escape COVID-19... if just for a little while... into a world of shorebirds, thunderclaps and meatball sandwiches at Goosewing Beach in Little Compton, Rhode Island.

Thank you all for your past and current support. The quality will stay the same... I guarantee. Give us a listen as I tell you about my cats, the house layout, the piano moving and my new recording setup. It's all good and it's courtesy of you... my listeners. Much love from Guy and John Jacobs.

Our cats and animals take in the world a lot like we do and they demand our respect. Although mostly denied a sense of meaning, my cats take in life like no tomorrow.

This compact journey takes you in the eyes, ears and noses of those...

Deep in the beauty of the glades, the Lost River Valley came to an awesome trailhead when I discovered to my amazement, shock and horror, that I may not ever see the light of day... that I may not get out of these woods alive with the threat of animals and nature not on my side.

It's the willful abandonment of publications by the banks of the Ten Mile River. It's a poem of wickedly...
