My wife and I are going to see him this weekend

Over the sound system at Whole Foods yesterday. Kinda blew my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoF_a0-7xVQ A friend pointed out the irony of the fact that Whole Foods is the one grocery store where you can't get a Pepsi!

Recording a new episode tonight, with another very special guest - a member of a band that literally changed my life. (No, not Wilco or Uncle Tupelo.) Looking forward to meeting him and listening to some tunes together.

That's my friend J.'s band! I'm waiting for my vinyl to arrive in the mail

Thanks. And, seriously, drop John a note via Facebook. He would probably be thrilled that he has this cult following trying to track down a song of his. I know I would be, if it were me.

That's my iTunes.

This is my own music. I recorded 5 of these songs with John. He sings backing vox on a few and plays a little guitar on one: https://hoponpop.bandcamp.com/album/one-by-one Plus another 2 songs on 'Chicken on a Bicycle'

I have all sorts of stuff that he sent me that he hasn't really "officially" released.

That one might be tougher to find, as it's a little older. You can always try messaging him on Facebook. I'm sure he would be happy to sell you a CD https://www.facebook.com/happyashtrayband/ How did YOU find about about them?

John is a friend of mine. We went to middle school together. Lost touch, and then I heard his music, fell in love with it, and we got back in touch. Wound up recording my own music with him many times.

Gene & Judes - no ketchup anywhere in the building. You want some... you gotta go next door to McD's and pay 0.50 a packet.

Working on securing another guest who is a founding member of a band that was formative for me. He's willing to do it. It's just a matter of finding a date that will work. Crazy excited.
