In this debut episode of The Zambi Files, we learn how Nick Johnson went from being an aspiring musician in high school to being asked to join Widespread Panic while their regular lead guitarist Jimmy Herring was on leave for health reasons. We learn about how Nick first had the opportunity to meet Col. Bruce, and how he was inspired to move to Atlanta.  Nick talks about his first days in Atlanta, and how his career would unfold to the point where he first played with Col. Bruce Hampton, and later was recommended to Randall Bramblett by The Colonel.  We hear some great stories from the Colonel days, about the Col. Bruce ethos and the unique ways Colonel Bruce conveyed subtle, but vital lessons.
