    I just discovered your show because of the Sheryl Crow/Kevin Gilbert episode. GREAT EPISODE. A good friend got me into KG a million years ago. Truly a genius. One thing I wanted to add: just before he died, he was scheduled to travel for an audition for Genesis after Phil Collins left the band. But, sadly, he died. Great job bringing the truth!

  • Perfect Nuggets of 80's Gold.

    I grew up in the eighties, am familiar with all the material they cover, yet I'm still amazed at the golden nuggets of info and insight they display. Like joining in on a casual conversation between two guys you grew up with, this podcast is a go-to listen. I can't wait for another episode to drop.
