Calvin Vollrath - The Story Behind the Tunes

Calvin Vollrath - The Story Behind the Tunes

I've written near 800 tunes in my 52 years of fiddling and have recorded 71 albums to date. Each tune has a story and I'm here to tell you those stories. When covid-19 hit, our performing life came to a crashing halt but when I was out performing, my shows were filled with stories of my tunes. So now we look for a new way to promote the music and old Cal is doing a podcast.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
