Garrett chats about eating at kid's birthday parties, plodding along, his notion of "busy writing love songs", Little Jesus and Little Willie, and the right microphone height for finger-snaps ("OK" from Live at the Listening Room PHX 11/02/17)

Garrett checks in before (grumpy and nervous), during (grateful to play music for cool people like that one German dude), and after (drunk and proud - apologies for the sound quality when the earbud mic was rubbing my collared shirt) the corporate conference gigs in Grapevine TX. (Outro music = "Bohemian" featuring Ryan from Twiddle at the 8x10 5/26/2012)

Garrett is seeking his "why", got an article from a listener about hunting management not being as scientific as advertised, sang for a lady in red sunglasses, still hates bots and spam, and wraps up with a cover of "Let him Fly" by Patty Griffin by request. www.GarrettAndersonMusic.com

Garrett is in humbled-nervous-prep-mode after landing a gig to perform for a conference in TX, got chills singing at Day of Hope, enjoyed a roasted cauliflower taco at Vegan Fest, and finally learned "Sweet Caroline". Intro and Outro Music = "Texas Honeysuckle"

Garrett wonders if he'll go full vegan after the PHX Vegan Food festival, wishes it wasn't confusing whether it is OK to cheer for Shuan White and buy Jimmy Johns, and shared video of set 2 from his gig last night. Intro / Outro Music is "Dirty Cooking" from 2/16/14.

Happy 2018! Check out the Family Ranch song after Garrett gives thanks that his sister didn't hear the "game over" music and tells a story of a lost dog in the neighborhood.

Garrett went to the PHX Animal Welfare league, saw the Patriot Guard Riders raise the flag, and lost it all on Red. https://www.gofundme.com/kwxphc-cancer-treatment-fund

Intro / Outro music = "59th St. Bridge (Feelin' Groovy)" by Simon and Garfunkel, performed by Garrett at Crab Shanty07/25/09

Garrett wraps up with a home studio "Soul Shine" (Warren Haynes) after talking about holidays, green beans, sexual allegations, and slam-reading an agitated writing inspired by insomnia and the Rolling Stone doc on HBO.

Garrett feels strange after his gig for 7 people, shares a self-help acronym C.A.L.M., struggles to find a tweet, and hates when dishes pile up in the sink. Intro / Outro music = "Strange Truth" released 1/24/09 available here: https://garrettandersonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/portraits-of-the-young-man-as-an-artist

Garrett reflects on the serenity prayer, volunteering, Bladerunner, and wraps up with a home-studio cover of "99 Shades of Crazy" (by JJ Grey and Mofro)
