This is was my first attempt to interview Mr. Kelly Tooker… but due to technical difficulties (memory card was full)… it stopped only 20 minutes into the interview and we didn’t know it… we kept talking for more than an hour.

A lot of great content was lost but we did our best to reproduce the interview that you heard in “Ep019 - NMJC - Hobbs NM “

Even though this is a short episode, Mr. Kelly keeps us informed and entertained…

 

Hope you enjoy this BONUS Episode!
