First off, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas, a happy holiday, or what whatever you celebrate is filled with love and peace. After such a long, dark year, I thought it would be nice to ring in the holidays by going back to ep 1477 in April for an inspiring and uplifting conversation with guitar playing singer-songwriter, Roger Blevins Jr. who was recovering and rehabilitating from a three year bout with tongue cancer that ended with him having 80% of his tongue removed in the summer of 2024. By the time he was on the show in April he had been writing and recording new material and was about to go out and play his first full show. It's a truly inspiring conversation. Links in comments.

It's a sad day in music... Legendary and beloved drummer and father, Bryan Keeling passed away yesterday from cancer in Nashville. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Bryan was an extremely kind hearted, talented and enthusiastic person. He was a staple in the Austin music scene from the late 80's to around 2002 when he moved to LA and eventually to Nashville. What a sad loss. Rest in peace, Bryan. Below are my original notes for episode 336 from 12/23/2014. Links in comments or find it wherever you pod.

My guest for episode 336 is rock and roll drummer extraordinaire, Bryan Keeling Official. I first saw Bryan play in 1989 when he was the drummer of Austin art rock band, Water The Dog. We played together in Mr. Rocket Baby from 1993-1994. We didn't really talk or hang out until our recent Mr. Rocket Baby reunion and it felt great. Bryan has spent the last 20 years playing music, he moved to LA, recorded with Pink, Macy Gray and others, he also played with Shooter Jennings for years, and now plays with Eric Sardinas and Big Motor and tours the world. Even Africa! I had a great time reconnecting with Bryan after so many years. Playing music can be a healing experience. Join Bryan and I for coffee as we catch up over the last 20 years. Let's get down!
