Part 1- Lost archive of an interview from August 2005. Recorded in Sacramento California. Robert Lee Tanner 1915-2013

This year has brought some of the biggest tears, we have lost so many greats, legends. I’m broken over the passing of John Prine, Justin Townes Earle, Jerry Jeff Walker, now Billy Joe Shaver. I’m worried what this year has left in store. I wrote this song last week, then two days later got the word on the passing of Jerry Jeff. Then yesterday the news of Billy Joe. This year has been brutal, and I just want you to know that I’m thankful that you are still here, my friends. Let’s toast. This song is dedicated to all of you and to the memory of the Saints of 2020.

Today’s episode is a fun little deep dive with my son Mason and his Mimi, discussing their family heritage from England.

In this episode, I discuss my hopes for this podcast. I talk about the days events and learn how to adjust the mic. Stay til the end (or skip ahead) for a special performance.
