Thanks for this Walt! A while back I commented about doing a show about authenticity and I cringe to think that I said that - but I think this is what I meant. Great selection of stories that feel real and bring the music closer, bonus song included! Will be revisiting this one.

In this episode, we learn that Randy Newman has spent so much time in the doghouse that he is part canine.

Really enjoyed this one Walt! You’re a master of it, BTW. really enjoy descriptive songs like Amsterdam …& Solo Australian Tour? We’re right there with you on those songs, super fun & joyous ones!

I think you said you hadn’t deep-dived into Louden Wainwright III but this kinda thing is really in his wheelhouse; A Father & Son is a good bittersweet one. Seems like our man Jonathan Richman has a few offbeat ones too… Thanks again Walt - looking forward to an extended playlist if you’ve got one coming!
