Love show fellas!!! The depth, the opinions, the flashbacks are all great!!!! Keep’em coming! Todd in California
Great way to burn an hour+, especially if you like real music from the 70’s/80’s as opposed to todays garbage. Plus the discussions on what was popular back then is a blast on its own.
Dave runs the show well, while Brian & “the old guy” Lance add their perspectives and opinions. They don’t always agree, which is good.
The combined deep knowledge of these three makes for good listening and great entertainment. Go check it out!
