My Lifetime Love Affair With Music – Podcast Guest Appearance

My wonderful wife Gina recently started a podcast called Seeing From The Inside Out where she “highlights a fascinating person, eager to tell the personal, authentic tale of their life’s journey, a lesson learned, a defining moment; something unique only they can express from their own life experience.”

Her first episode featured her own story of how she found her voice through writing and how it helped her survive some difficult obstacles to get to where she is today.

I know she says she will highlight a fascinating person, but instead she opted to have me on as a guest for her second episode, and we talk about my lifetime love of music, it’s origin, and how it has helped me throughout my life deal with childhood trauma, depression and anxiety.

I tell a lot of stories as we share how my love of music has evolved and how we have incorporated it in to our life together. We had so much fun recording this and other than my needing to remove a few hundred of my “you know” instances, it is pretty much unedited and exactly how it came together.

I hope you’ll give it a listen either below via Pocket Casts, on her podcast site, via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or within your favorite podcast app directory. If it’s not available where you listen, let me know so we can get it added.

We’re still working on getting it on YouTube – Google makes it difficult compared to, well, everyone else.

If you do listen, be sure to let me know what you think!

I was able to listen to the podcast this evening while driving, but temporarily paused when you were discussing your CA treatments. I’m 65 and I remember when I was 12 or so and the first Kiss album dropped and a neighbor played it for me (my age). That album is timeless. About the same time I was introduced to Mott The Hoople, Robin Trower and BTO. It has often been said that the music we listen to during our high school and college years is the music we listen to for the rest of our lives. If you like Warren Haynes, have you. Listened to Blackberry Smoke? Good ol’ Southern Rock, now that all the originals are dead. Lastly, I thought I was the only one that thought Stairway to Heaven was one of Zeppelin’s weakest songs. If that or Freebird comes on the radio, it’s change the channel. I just moved back to SC after living two and a half years in Nashville. I met an obscure singer-songwriter named Mary Kutter. She’s finally breaking out and getting known outside of Nashville. She has a remarkable stage presence and writes songs about everyday day life, with a bit of an edge. Regards.

  Thanks so much for giving it a listen, we appreciate it! I know of Blackberry Smoke but haven’t really given them a good listen – I will take your recommendation though and add them to my list. So much of the classic rock they play on the radio has been overplayed to the point of over-saturation so a lot of it gets turned off right away, Stairway and Free Bird here as well, along with Hotel California and pretty much anything by Aerosmith. I don’t spend too much time in the car now which is the only place I would listen to the radio so it’s not much of an issue now. When I drove a lot I had Sirius so there was a lot to choose from at least. Am not familiar with Mary but will add her to the list as well – I am always looking for great music to add to the rotation.

    It’s intriguing….i only listen to podcasts when I’m driving. It was probably at least 15 years since I listened to music on the radio, and that was SIRIUS…does it even exist any longer?
    
    Blackberry Smoke is a blend of Skynyrd, Allman Bros. Blackfoot and Marshall Tucker Band. . . In you face.
    
    Kutter has about 8 personas onstage. I met her a few times, but she’s different in almost every video and show. You never know what you’re getting. This is a song about tobacco farmers in KY growing marijuana in the middle of their fields to supplement their income. https://youtu.be/USZnkKrZ4BU?feature=shared
    
    This is a fun conversation. Hope I’m not dragging it on.

    Nah, no worries, I always enjoy a good chat about music. I found some live Blackberry Smoke on Nugs.net this morning, didn’t have a ton of time today but will give a longer listen over the weekend.

Since you were talking about visits to NYC, did you ever encounter The Good Rats? They owned the tri-state music scene during the 70’s and early 80’s. Opened for Rush, Kiss, Arrowsmith and even played at the Royal Albert Hall. A combination of rock, jazz and swing, along with their distinct on stage persona, lead Rolling Stone Magazine to label them “The Most Famous Band You Never Heard Of.” Tasty was their most popular song, but the catalog, easily found on YouTube, is amazing.
