My first musical guest of the show is Tom Mason of Tom Mason and the Blue Buccaneers.

Tom travels the world bringing his pirate music to pirate fests, tall ships festivals, fairs, and anywhere that needs a solid pirate jam.

We'll get into Tom's history and the unlikely route that helped him find his niche in the music industry. It's a really interesting discussion about being a musician in the modern age.

Due to an unfortunate digital glitch of some sort, the last 10 minutes of the interview are a bit distorted. I didn't know about it until the editing phase. I've left it in for completeness, but feel free to fast forward 10 minutes.

Also in this episode you'll hear some stand-up comedy from Mean Dave and, of course, some great pirate music from Tom Mason and the Blue Buccaneers.
