This show is vital for the love of music, as well as for archival purposes. I’ve learned so much about the people who wrote and recorded the greatest music of the past 75 years. Thank you Pete Ganbarg! (Tommy James, one of the best guests on this podcast, performed an hour away from where I live yesterday!)

Can’t remember how I stumbled upon this podcast but finished the interview with Jorma Kaukonen, my favorite guitarist. Excellent!!!!
Apple Podcasts5Bean of PintoUnited States4 years ago - Learn something new!
I love this podcast. It’s light, breezy and conversational but it’s not fluff. I learn something new every episode- especially loved the Debbie Gibson episode- have mad respect for a (then) teen female singer-songwriter who owns her own music! The production is seamless and the stories are wonderful. 5 stars!
