Hey Stew,

Just wanted to put in a quick note to say that I stumbled across TNP’s music a few years ago, and have subsequently picked up everything you’ve put out that’s readily available. You’ve become my favorite songwriter and your music is inspritional and thought-provoking in equal measure.

So, keep up the good work, and man, I’d take that class in a second if it was physically possible.

Take care!

Stew…I live in Madison, but I’m long past being a student. Any plans you’ll be playing some shows around town during your stay?

hi,
you know this is a really great question. I will look into it. my first guess would be that the school would say no. that said, maybe i’d say no as well since this is only my 3rd time around teaching and I’ve been gradually trying to develop a curriculum (and an approach) that I can take with me to whatever school is crazy enough to have me. But I’m still learning my ropes, as it were.

I’m basically trying to replicate in the form of a class what its like to meet that crazy friend who turns you onto everything: weird lit, music, film, philosophy, etc…but he’s not an academic so there’s no codification going on except from that person’s own deeply personal, idiosyncratic aesthetic perspective. So Billie Holiday gets talked about in the same conversation as Godard and James Joyce. And so while there might not be any “official” connections between these 3 artists, the fun is to actually look for connections and make them! So the commonality of all art-making is one thing I’m interested in exploring. The class is hopefully going to be like a collage. And it might be complete chaos! We’ll see.

If yer interested I’d be happy to send you any materials from the class. I’m pretty sure every session will be videotaped.

I’m such a tech-idiot I don’t even know where you will read this email I’m writing: will it go to your inbox or will it come to you as link or what?

thanks for asking a great question,
/s

Any chance that class will be offered somewhere like iTunes U or something where those of us who don’t live in WI can “take” that class?
