My first guest is Dizzy Reed. He's been playing keyboard with Guns N' Roses since 1990. He is a member of the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, was a member of The Dead Daisies, and of course still tours with his band Hookers & Blow. A little known fact… that band was almost called Unicorns and incense. My second guest is Nick Huffman. He is the owner of the Looney Bin in Bradley, Illinois. It's heralded as the smallest national venue in America. He's a comedian, releasing the albums titled Abusing the First Amendment and The Black Album. He's the author of the book Fuck, Man! Other interesting Nick factoids are that he ran for president in 2014 and was banned from every Walmart and Sam's club on the planet but was recently pardoned. Brandon Mendenhall is my third guest. He was born with Cerebral Palsy, a neurological disorder of movement and posture caused by abnormal development. With limited mobility on his left side and zero mobility in his left hand, most would say the odds were stacked against him from birth. Listening to Korn and Pantera as a teenager. Brandon wanted to learn to play guitar and to join a band much like his favorite musicians had once done. Teaching himself to play guitar rehabilitated his left hand with no surgical intervention. Mendenhall worked hard finding solutions to his physical limitations and developed a unique playing style that became his signature. He has said, "Once I was able to get a guitar in my hands, it changed my life." His band is called the Mendenhall Experiment. Check them out! A documentary about his life titled Mind Over Matter was released last year and is currently streaming on Prime Video.
Brandon Mendenhall is the founder, and guitar player for The Mendenhall Experiment. Born with cerebral palsy, he followed his dream of learning the guitar. People told him it was impossible.
