Celebrity Photo Album

During almost 25 years as a studio engingeer, I've been fortunate to work with many talented and prominent people at the world-famous Voice of America: I recorded an unrepentant interview with an elderly Edward Teller, a father of the atomic bomb; I was frisked by Hillary Clinton's Secret Service detail on my way to the men's room; and once, under the mis-impression that he was just another inept, newby announcer, I treated a U.S. Congressman like dirt. Oops.

My favorite guests, though, make music, and they often come by to perform live on VOA's worldwide request show, BorderCrossings. Most guests take a copy or two of my novels, something to read on the bus, and I've received many nice words in return.

What follows are photos of some of the special visitors I've had the pleasure of working with. (Either I'm in the shot, or I took the pic myself.) I'm just sorry I never got photographs of Judy Collins, Kenny Rogers, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Bowling for Soup, Garth Brooks, Tom Jones, Matchbox 20, and especially Natasha Beddingfield !
