Happy 2024

This week Joe Savage is the guest. I love having Joe on the first show every year. I always think its one of the best and sets a good expectation for the upcoming year. He has released a couple of great albums over the last couple of months. Disappearing Blues and Sounds like Fort Worth. Both are fantastic and we talk about both as well as a ton of other stuff.

Its that time of year again and this year I decided to do something different. Instead of playing my favorite tracks or playing music that didn't make it, this year I am playing one song from 13 different categories that I am not familiar with or has never been played on the show. Its a great way to find new music! Go through the categories and find bands you don't know and check them out. You may find a new favorite.
