to a harpist while schmoozing with patrons. It
was quite successful. The premier copies of the

November 18, 2004 - Radio Interview
Those of you in the Medford, Oregon area on this
date
might have heard me discussing both books with
Leslie Haze
on BEAT 93 KTMT FM. And only a short time
later I discussed
them with Rosemary (see photo) of the Rosemary and
Garth
talk show on KCMX AM. It was lots
of fun.
And hopefully
I enticed a few to check out my website.
