This week, Ella talked about The Vampire’s Photograph, the first in a series of books written by Kevin Emerson, the lead singer for The Board of Education.  You can find an independent book store to buy it at online by clicking on the cover of the book over to the left.

Great crowd at the Iron Horse on Sunday, and AudraRox brought a fantastic show, with a mix of older songs and some samples from the forthcoming record.  Here’s one video; I’ll get some more up (probably mostly on our Facebook page) soon.

Thanks to the great Board of Education for stopping by the studio.  And we’ll see you Sunday at 2 for AudraRox at the Iron Horse!

You can listen to the show any time you like by visiting our on-demand page at WRSI.com.

Seattle’s Board of Education played a fun in-studio that we’ll air on Saturday.  In it, among other things, I attempt to foment a rivalry with other Seattle-based family bands.  Was I successful?  You’ll have to listen to find out.
