    Enjoying this podcast. I was fortunate enough to see Vince Gill at a small Venue in my hometown a few years ago. The venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! What an honor it was to see him. It left a lasting memory for my husband and I. Thank you Vince!

    I love the friendly combo of Phil’s goofiness & David’s enthusiasm :) It’s fun to meet people in their informal talk & eat format.
