Bobbie and Vince are back with their first episode of 2023! You thought that their podcast was finished, and most probably so did they. This brand spanking new episode #18 proves both of you wrong. For some time Vince has been working on explaining how many bands are "inbred", meaning that musicians move from one band to another band more than you think. When Bobbie saw his research, she said that there was no way that Vince could connect over 80 bands in under an hour. Taking that as a challenge, Vince set out to prove her wrong. Did he succeed or admit defeat? Listen now and find out!The music discussed in this episode is in our Spotify Episode #18 Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4HRVta07Jh9pFyYR8ChS6c
