I recently went back to Kansas City for a week and a half to catch the Kansas City Royals in the World Series and catch up with some of my best buddies. I had a good long chat with one of my best buddies (and former bandmate in The Believe It Or Nots), Mr. John Nguyen. We talked about what got us into music, how different Kansas City and Lawrence are today, shared some stories about our old bands, and John picked out some pretty choice tunes for your ears. 

This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation, so make sure to hear the first part!

Stay tuned for the next couple episodes of The Royal Basement podcast, featuring John Davis (Superdrag/The Lees of Memory), Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals and Chris Porterfield of Field Report! 

In the 4th episode the ladies discuss ways to enjoy a little "me" time.  They also discuss the YA novel Eleanor and Park, chalk paint, and a new Article of the Week.

Recorded in 2010. For some, stalking big Trout in the gin clear waters of some of Hampshire's still waters became not only a pilgrimage, but an art form. Here Graeme Pullen looks at the history as well as the techniques behind the phenomenon.

Dr. Robert L. Smith has a very hefty chalk art pedigree. He has been chalking for over 55 years and just celebrated his 25th year of teaching Communicative Chalk-Talk at Howard Payne University. Dr. Smith has authored two books on the subject and also produced a TV show from 1955-1965 called The Art of Living which featured chalk talks.

In addition to teaching, Dr. Smith has worked as a commercial artist and served in pastoral ministries, missions and the US Air Force.

Elva Hurst was raised among the "plain" people of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - the Old Order Mennonite and Amish. These roots have given Elva a unique perspective on just how effective chalk art can be at opening doors into this ultra-conservative world.

Raised with a solid work ethic, this mother of four also finds the time to write books, create art, teach classes, tend a farm and still keep a very busy performance schedule.

Meet the new "kid" on the chalk art block, Dr. Rick Honea. Although Dr. H has only been chalking for a few months, he is certainly no stranger to the stage. He has been ministering, educating and entertaining as an illusionist, hypnotist, motivational speaker and more for over 20 years. Rick throws himself into everything he does with a characteristic passion that is both rare and contagious. As he is fond of saying, "You've only got one shot at this thing called life."

There was a man in the Bible who was a carpenter for a while before he launched into full-time ministry. That would put our guest in pretty good company. Although he is a carpenter by trade, Mr. James Snyder anticipates the day when chalk ministry will become his primary occupation. His passion is already there.

Mr. Dan Ondra knows what it takes to troupe a large, traveling, gospel variety show (and has the bad back to prove it). But even though the semi-load of equipment & props have been retired, one thing has remained the same - Dan's eagerness to assist chalkers everywhere and help their ministries flourish. As he often says: "There's no competition here - we're all on the same team." Dan is one of the most selfless chalk artists I know and has been a personal blessing to me.

Dan is not just a veteran chalk artist. His resume also includes being a teacher, author, magician, designer, inventor...well, too much to list here. Did I also mention that he is generous?
