Pat O'Bryan: legendary guitar player, songwriter, music producer and king of electronic music
Pat O’Bryan started playing piano at eight and the guitar at 10. It wasn’t long before he was sporting a fake mustache to make himself look older and playing in the clubs up and down Spencer Street in Houston. It wasn’t longer again before he was playing in well known bands with famous musicians, becoming a vanguard and staple across the country and all over Europe in electronic music, while never leaving his lifelong love of jazz. Listen to this amazing story and to some of the clips from his pandemic album, “Boomers Last Stand”.

Episode 17
Greg Davis: Godwinks and Twists of Fate

After experiencing rapid fire devastating personal and financial setbacks, Greg Davis bought a $400 camera, quit his corporate job, and set out on what was to be a year long global soul searching expedition. There were a lot of life changing experiences along the way that Greg sometimes refers to as fate, such as the photographic commission from the Museums of the Southwest which took him on a pilgrimage in India, or the Vietnamese woman he met along the journey who changed his perspective and became the signature photographic piece of his astonishing career. All of this has brought Greg Davis to a place where he seeks “something greater than ourselves” in his life, his photography, his filmmaking, and his work.
