The Man Who Crossed Whimsy Avenue
Uncle Warren's Attic
With two days to go until The Man Who Crossed Whimsy Avenue and 95 other bits of flash fiction bursts onto the literary scene, I thought I might give you a taste of what it’s all about, so here is the title tale, complete with a dramatic reading. My new book is available to pre-order wherever fine books are sold online, and you can probably convince your favorite local bookstore to order it for you.

Uncle Warren's Attic
Demo of a song that will be included in the upcoming w.p. bluhm project New Dog, Old Tricks.

info_outlineHi folks, I’m Uncle Warren Bluhm, and welcome to Uncle Warren’s Attic #83 for Sept. 15, 2023. This is the longest episode ever, because I’m playing you an entire record album.
My favorite rock album doesn’t really exist ...
So, imagine it’s early 1967, and you’ve just purchased “Smile,” the new Beach Boys album you’ve heard so much about. When you slip the record out of the sleeve, the first thing you notice is there are no breaks between the tracks — what the heck is this? Side 1 is a 19-minute version of “Heroes and Villains,” the Beach Boys’ hit single that followed “Good Vibrations,” and Side 2 is a 21-minute song called “The Elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water.” Oooh-kay.
You put the record on the turntable, gently place the tone-arm on the vinyl, and sit back to listen.
