Hey there, folks. You know, you, you've seen on this program many times I've had as my guest,

Jim Cuncelor. And I think I probably said it at one point, but I met Jim Cuncelor when I was up at

Yaddo in Saratoga Springs. I was a very young, aspiring fiction writer and got to know Jim Cuncelor as someone who

mostly wrote fiction.

And he still writes fiction.

And I thought it would be fun to have him on the program to talk about that part of his life.

Maybe I'm wrong. But here he is, Jim Cuncelor.

Hey, a pleasure to see you again, Eric.

Let's get it now.

Up on the train.

It's fuck a block again. Yeah, that was over 40 years ago.

And then you went on to be a producer of a series of children's videos at Rabin'

Year's Productions.

And they were really wonderfully, beautifully done.

You know, I wrote about four or five of the scripts.

Yep.

And they were narrated by, you know, people like Garrison Keeler and other luminaries.

And the music was done by, you know, really great musicians like Mark O'Connor and Rai Cooter and wonderful art that went with it.

And so it was a pleasure to do those. What? and wonderful art that went with it.

And so it was a pleasure to do those.

Well, it's funny because I almost forgot about that.

I mean, yeah, so you and I met in the fall of 1985.
