The show is explained.

We Get ONE THING Out Of The Way:

The handsome new guy dancing about controlling his A1-C diabetes is trying to charm his way into my medicine cabinet. 

We do a plug for Dynamic Weight Loss Products.

We meet musician, writer and musicologist Paul Myers and chat about his life, his books, popular music, and about The Record Store Day Podcast with Paul Myers. We play "Thank You, No Thank you" where Paul gets a bit to choose who we prattle on about. The hour went fast and we'll need Paul back at some point!

We finish as always with Disclaimers.*

*Because footnotes just don't work in audio. Work with me here.
