Inside the episode with Mitch Hampton “Being Open To One's Entire Environ- ment: A conversation with singer/song- writer Tyler Tyler Bejoian ” 

Tyler Bejoian is one of a handful of guests on our show with whom I have had a personal association, long before we had this podcast, and even before podcasting was a thing. 

Originally we were friends because of shared cinephilia, back in the day when people gathering together to look at pictures on a shared screen was a thing. 

Where we were living in the Boston area had some of the greatest repertory and current movie houses in all of the United States: The Brattle Theatre , the Harvard Film Ar- chive, and the Coolidge Corner Theaters . 

Only later was I a keyboardist in his band, Tyler And The Names which can be found here: https://tylerandthenames.bandcamp.com/album/long- gone-carrier 

This was noteworthy because it had been at least twenty years since I had performed that type of music in any capaci- ty. 

Then again, to put it more accurately, it was an entirely unique experience overall because the music had a lot of in- fluences, from folk as much as rock, and some other things in there as well which I think Tyler can explain a lot better than myself. 

I always have liked Tyler's lyric content, his sense of humor, and the sensibility in his songs. 

The experience of playing with loud electric guitars and so on had its pleasures to be sure.

This episode was recorded wayback in February. 

I'd like to think, though, as with all of our episodes, that it has a timeless quality, both in the topics of conversation, as well as the spirit in which the topics were discussed.”
