Welcome, & Q's for the interview:
"We come now to our interview portion of the show and today we’re talking with John Brown, in Austin Tx. John is many things, including: a singer, songwriter, filmmaker, and father. “How are you today JB?” Wow, you have the same initials as Jimmy Buffett! Cool! So, you are all those things I fore mentioned but let’s start with the 80’s. "
John Brown Q’s: ~ I would like to kind of get a timeline from when you were ‘growed-up’. We met in Chi-town in ‘88.
1. I met you in the Sears Tower Studio, in the TV/AV Dept. back in the late 80’s. You were working for them doing studio and location video work, (lighting, right). Was that your start in film? What really hooked you into visual storytelling world?
2. Where did that take you? How did your interests shift to … film, music, mushing, songwriting…
3. You’ve also lived up in Minnesota for a spell. Tell us a bit about ol’Mr. Arley. Who is Arley? How did you meet him?
Do you still go up there? What’s dog-mushing like? How many dogs are up there? Have you made a film about that lifestyle? Where can we see it?
4. About your songwriting career…When did you start writing songs? What have you produced? Who are some of the famous musicians that you’ve played with? Where can our listeners find work? Do you have any upcoming venues that the folks can come and hear you play?
5. Shifting gears a bit…You’ve also become a dad not too long ago, what’s that like? Tell us about them. ~Has it balanced you, How has that directed your life, do you feel your path is more defined?
6. And lastly, you’re also becoming a minister!? What made you decide to go in that direction?
What are your ‘peeves’ about humans and their predicted course? Do you have ‘visions’ about what might give us a chance, for our future, as a species?
~ Well I thank you JB for taking time out of your schedule to join us. Is there anything else you’d like us to know about, any future endeavors…: upcoming venues, films, this is where you get plug yourself . . .
~ Okay kiddo, thanks again for sharing on the D’Tours PodCast Pilot show. I hope we have widened your listening base a bit. Good luck!
We are going to end this segment with one of your songs – do you have one about life up in the Tundra? …The excitement of dog-mushing days? …Arley? POV of ‘A dog’s life’…?
If you have anything you would like covered in the interview, by all means bring it on…

"Aloha, Kai-ora, Bulla, Bon-jour, Hola… everybody!
…how many ways there are to say ‘Hi’ and welcome! We are so glad you’re loaning us your ears for awhile, and happy you decided to choose ‘D’Tours for your listening enjoyment.
This happens to be our ‘Pilot’ program. But, this episode # will be 101. Just because even my banks will start me off with checks beginning at 100 (it’s seems less green that way) so even though this episode may be the first, we didn’t want it to appear that way.
My name is DLN and I’ll be you emcee today.
U R listening to “D’Tours” podcast episode 101 – today’s date is November 5th 2007
Introduction of show content: ~ What’s it all about?
Segment #1. “Tales from the Trail” Sound bites from the road, pieces of recordings I've gotten while traveling.
"To compress the mission of our existence will be difficult but I’ll try.
D’Tours is a philosophy. It’s a way of traveling through life. By developing this laid-back style I’ve enriched the experiences I've had while visiting these places. By needing more information...by having to go out and hunt for it, and meet someone, and ask questions, it has deepened the meaning of the trip, and embedded the culture into a memory far more significant than say the ‘package deals’ with too much info, too little time, and too many extraneous photos at the end.
What you’ll hear are some excerpts from these travel recordings I’ve done while on the road.
~~~~~~~(This segment will be one or, the other depending on availability) ~~~~~~~~
Segment #2. Phone poems: These are people I’ve met along the way of life. Smart people, enlightened people, crazy people sometimes, famous sometimes. Sometimes they may not seem, at first, to have much to offer, however, their words are very extraordinary if one stops long enough to listen.
Interviews: These are also people I’ve met along the way of life. Smart people, enlightened people, crazy people sometimes, famous sometimes. We'll talk to them about life...What are their ‘peeves’ what are their ‘visions.’ Sometimes they may not seem, at first, to have much to offer, however, their words are very extraordinary if one stops long enough to listen.
(Why on the phone? …because these are many bright and creative people. Our comet-tails pass through one another’s orbits oh-so briefly; we elapse quickly and then travel on and away to our other unique destinations; to match latitudes regularly, becomes quite infrequent.)
. . .So, we’re callin’ ‘em up!”
Segment #3.
“Excerpts from the “Book of Dead Ideas”, or, (‘POTT’ ~ Philosophy of Travel Tips.)
** “Dead Ideas” ...Everyone has had an Idea that might (or not) have gone somewhere famous. Given more time, money, more information, dedication, it could have, would have, been Great! And, much of it is about opening that flap in your face and spitting it out into the universe. ‘Poohoowee’ “Here-ya-go! . . . Take-it! . . . Run! "You're Welcome!” Here, is where we share some of those folk’s ideas, like yours and mine who are willing to give’em-up ...to the Cyber-Cosmos.
* In POTT, I’ll share some Natural Logic, from past travel training, which has had positive effects on embracing the travel experience. ‘Attitude is Primary my friends.’ When talking about the value of a journey, one’s approach should ebb-and-flow as all things organic do everyday. If your head is in the right place, what happens next is magic.
Rap-up: “Thanks for joining us. We are pleased to have shared our ‘Alpha’ show with you today. Check-in now-and-again for more: Tales-from-the-Trail, ‘Phone-Poems’ and Interviews, as well as tips for the Traveling Head. Let’s hope that this is the beginning of more exciting contributions to the big and beautiful web-world, and, your awesome and evolving MP3 players.
Thanks to: our guests, sponsors, contributors, . . .
. . .and we’ll end with a Cool-Quote.
This one’s from Bill Maher – “Question. All the time, question –if we didn’t, it would become …Religion.
15sec Music close. (Pipes from musicians at FaerieWorld, Eugene Oregon, 2006)
