Music Lessons From Athens, GA

We had a lot of fun with this one! Taped on a gals' weekend (which ended with a phone call that one of our children knocked his sibling's tooth in half with a golf club) three besties learn a lot about each other! We also learned about Radio Paradise which sounds quite amazing. Listen to Meimi and Julie give me life advice! Enjoy! www.radioparadise.com (not a sponsor, but sounds cool)

In this episode we set a record for most family members! The most interesting one is Jane Kelly, who actually is a musician and has some great stories to tell from her days playing in Baltimore in the 90s. The first music you hear in this episode is actually just me tuning the banjo. Getting faster at that and can hear the notes better now without having to use the tuner as much. Don't forget to subscribe and review! Thanks!

In this episode the former manager of The Rook & Pawn and I discuss Athfest, hip-hop, Gregg Allman, and of course banjo. With special guests my son AND famous celebrity Michael Winslow*! Plus hear new music from our new side project band, the band which I am going to name now...Prisms. Hey maybe that will be my actual band name one day... *Michael Winslow does not appear on this podcast

In this episode we talk to music lover Carolyn about her life in music, from The Beatles to Gwen Stefani. We taped this episode in Jekyll Island near where we both grew up. Hear about music festivals in the late 60s and 70s and going to the Aquarama.

A "mini"sode starring the most beautiful person on Earth--well tied with his brother at least. In this episode I learn the slide and you get a little Pokemon in there too.

In Episode 3 we finally talk with an actual musician, Nicholas Mallis! Listen to him talk about touring and teaching me a little banjo while we were at it. Nick also does the music for The Rook & Pawncast so take a listen to that as well!

Episode 2 with a familiar guest...Ok ok we promise to have actual musicians on soon but you got to get established first ya know? On this episode enjoy pretty much every good concert story Tim and I have. Also I KNOW girls' shorts don't have to be short, I just meant in general they are shorter than boys' shorts. Please like and comment if you enjoy the podcast! Cheers!

Our first episode! Learn about why I am starting to learn the banjo and hear some great stories from our experiences with music and shows in Athens, GA and elsewhere. Check out our guest's business page www.therookandpawn.com. The music you hear is actually me playing my new banjo, so as I take more lessons it should get better and better. This, except for the part in the show, is after two lessons. If you have ever lived in Athens or just love music give us a listen!
