Today I sit down with one of my favorite guitar players from the Bay Area Mr Gary Pihl. Gary has been playing professionally for almost his entire life. I first saw Gary back around late 1979 when he was playing guitar in Sammy Hagar's band. Gary immediately became one of my favorite players back then with his Gibson SG Special. I must have seen Gary play in Sammy's band 10 times in and around the Bay Area. I never missed Hagar live all the way up until he joined Van Halen. After Sammy joined Van Halen Gary was asked by Tom Scholz to join Boston and he's been in the band since 1986. Gary's story is fantastic and I think you guys are really gonna dig this episode. So much great Bay Area love on this one. This episode is brought to you by Avocado Green Mattress company. Use the link https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com

Today I have 2 amazing guest Alexis Bloom & Svetlana Zill, directors of the documentary Catching Fire the Story of Anita Pallenberg. I saw this documentary last week and I can't recommend it enough. Anita was a fantastic Actress, Model and a massive Muse to members of the Rolling Stones. Anita dated Brian Jones before finiding here way into Keith Richards life which quickly escalated in to a full on rock n roll outlaw adventure. This women's story is absolutely incredible and very dark and the Doc pulls No Punches. The Words come from an unpublished memoir Pallenberg wrote before her death in 2017, narration voiced by Scarlett Johansson.  Sit back and enjoy this episode and don't forget to catch the film in Theaters next week and streaming platforms around May 10th.
