Feelings – emotions, which are a necessary part of being human, get a bad rap in our society, we dismiss or discount them often saying – don’t mind me I’m just being emotional. Our criticism of the expression of emotion can make simple feeling a Danger and stop us from changing. In this show I counteract the criticism we often hear about feeling and try to resurrect the importance of allowing ourselves to feel, I also air my interview couple with actor/philanthropist Carolyn Micheal and her director/theater manager husband Howard Millman.

Continuing to describe the Dangers which keep us from changing I discuss the concept of Catastrophic Expectations and how the anticipation (even when it is unconscious) can keep us from doing things we want to do. In this show I play an interview with Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes; who are perhaps best know for their long running roles on the soap opera Days of our Lives, and I play the original version The Ballad of Davy Crockett, recorded by Bill Hayes.

This show introduces the concept of the Danger of Change, and explains that often when we are stuck it is because we are unconsciously aware of a danger that will confront us when we do the thing we want to do. Then continuing my series of interview of artists I play interview with actress/philanthropist Carolyn Michel and her director theater manager husband Howard Millman.

After recapping the creation of a Cover Story I explain how and why we hide some of our most important qualities Undercover, and that these qualities which we have, but deny, can be the very ones we need to do some things we’d previously been unable to do. Using brief descriptions of two movies “Juno” and “Miss Pettigrew” I talk about the importance of strong female role models in fiction and then play the second ½ of my interview with Sharon Lesley, who is not only a powerful role model but has written three theater pieces which highlight the lives of powerful woman.

Beginning with a recap of the concepts of Modeling and Anti-Modeling and talking about the dilemma of being an artist in this culture, this show goes on to demonstrate how the creation of a Cover Story stops us from doing what we would otherwise be able to do. It continues the series Anatomy of an Artist with the first half of an interview with Sharon Lesley, actor/singer/playwright/director, and includes cuts from CD’s by Sharon and her husband pianist David Ohrenstein.
