In this episode, we get to meet Gay Meat - aka Karl Kuehn. In this conversation, Karl and I dig right in to his brand new debut full-length solo LP, Blue Water. The album was written all about his mother - both the deep relationship he had with her, and her passing a couple years ago after a prolonged health battle. Karl was super candid, and was ready to talk all about his mother. In her health journey, Karl eventually became her caretaker, which brought him back home for a number of years, dealing with hospital care, paper work; it was a lot, but he showed up out of the profound love he has for her. The songs are sometimes a bit downcast, but also sometimes quite fun and bright, and Karl hasn't lost his sense of joy or humor in the process. While this talk does touch on many very serious and heavy topics, I think it's a rather funny and light conversation ultimately, owing to Karl's humor and candor. Thanks for listening.
