"Storyteller Jill Michaels shares the humor of everyday life. Her observations are inspired by off -beat experiences of working as a graphic designer for Bellevue Hospital ....yes, that Bellevue, leaning into one sided romances and waitressing at Hollywood dives. The avante gaurd artist go-go danced in NYC to put herself through graduate school, and wound up working on the Olympic website for NBC. These days, you'll find her teaching Computer Graphic college classes and snaking down rural roads in search of the perfect little trailer. Michaels' folksy tales and storysongs about a fiesty neighbor and her thrift store finds, reminding us that we are all in the soup bowl together... so stir gently."
