Why the interrogative title? Well, this really should be Part 3 of our visit with Dr. John Upchurch, a.k.a. “The Slide Doctor” (a title bestowed upon him, apparently, by Buddy Baker!). You may have visited his website (www.slidedr.com), seen him at festivals/conventions, or maybe you’ve shipped your slide to him. He’s one of the very best. I took my King 2B slide and my Shires slide to him to see what magic he could perform. They’re perfect. I love them.

Dr. Upchurch was very kind in allowing camera to roll. He’s quite eloquent and photogenic, wouldn’t you agree…..perhaps I was set up:-) The conversation in this episode comes after more than an hour of the most thorough explanation of slide technology that you may ever see. That footage will air ASAP, and I highly recommend it to everyone. He truly knows slides.

He knows much more than that. This was a good conversation. In it, he explains for us all a whole lot more than proper tube alignment. Thanks, John, for the hospitality and generosity. I couldn’t be happier with my slides, and I feel like I earned a degree in Humanity in one afternoon.

PS- I’d like to mention this again: I just saw our resident digeredoo expert  Jay Evans (and friends….there’s Jen!) on the “Renaissance Christmas” DVD done in Chicago. It is really wonderful. If you have loved ones asking you about your Santa list, this would be an ideal gift for a good girl or boy:

Renaissance Christmas: “Join Chicago’s celebrated Music of the Baroque Chorus and Brass ensemble for A Renaissance Christmas”

Peace.
