Barry, Abigail, and third-time guest Zachary Hummel, brother to Abigail and son to Barry, discuss Under Pressure by Logic and sample Burton’s Best, Seaside Sour, Windtalker, Baltic Porter, and Brew Club 9th Anniversary Ale from Community Brewhouse in Sanford, Florida.

Many thanks to Gary Holmes and Aaron Libera, Co-Owners of Community Brewhouse, for sitting down with us to discuss the fascinating story behind Community Brewhouse and the Sanford Homebrew Shop.

Zach has seen Logic twice, once on the Bobby Tarantino vs. Everybody Tour in Tampa (setlist), and once on the Confessions of a Dangerous Mind tour in Orlando (setlist).

Zach noted that Under Pressure contains a sample from Eazy-Duz-It by Eazy-E.

These lyrics deserve your attention. We got a lot of the information shared on this episode from the Genius annotations for each song.

Read about Barry’s friend Bob Becker, who at the age of 74 broke the course record during the 2019 Race for the Ages ultra-running event in Tennessee using non-alcoholic O’Doul’s as part of his hydration strategy!

Due to a scheduling issue, we had to delay our regular music episode this week! We should be able to drop it next Friday, but we didn’t want to leave the regular listeners hanging! So… Barry, Abigail, and a few extra guests sample Almond Cherry Cider, Concord Grape Cider, Summerset Shandy, and Becker Farms Raspberry Wheat from Becker Brewing Co. in Gasport, New York, from their AirBNB in Niagara, New York, mid-family vacation.

Darby “Momma Darbs” Sider previously appeared on Bar'nSider (Paul Simon & Barn Door Ciderworks), recorded on our last family vacation to Asheville, North Carolina. On that trip, we enjoyed cider both from Barn Door Ciderworks in Fletcher, North Carolina, and from Urban Orchard Cider in Asheville.

Abigail’s favorite wine is Creekbend Catawba from Oliver Winery and Vineyards in Bloomington, Indiana.

Barry and Abigail discuss Conscious Party by Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers and sample Franz With Benefits, Daily Chores, Grass and Flower Series, Nitro Babycakes, and Your Roots Are Showing from Walking Tree Brewery in Vero Beach, Florida.

Special thanks to Mike Malone, Head Brewer of Walking Tree Brewery, and his son JT, for sitting down with us to discuss the history of the brewery!

Babycakes won gold in the oatmeal stout category at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival.

JT met Ziggy Marley at a fundraiser for Ocean Research and Conservation, Inc. (ORCA), a Fort Pierce-based organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of aquatic ecosystems and the species they sustain.

The lyrics on this album are deeply steeped in the Rastafarian religion and the Wikipedia article on Rastafari is worth a read.

Barry recommends The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll’s episode on Bob Marley & The Wailers: Kingston To The World.

Barry and Abigail discuss How to Save a Life by The Fray and sample Mel's Gold Ale, 32958 Hazy IPA, Dubbeldolia, Slow Paddle Porter, and Voluntold Oatmeal Stout from Pareidolia Brewing Co. in Sebastian, Florida.

Special thanks to Pete Anderson, Co-Owner and Head Brewer of Pareidolia Brewing Co., for sitting down with us to discuss the history of the brewery!

Mel’s Gold Ale is named for Mel Fisher, a world-famous American treasure-hunter. Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum is located just up the street from Pareidolia in Sebastian.

Sales of Knee Deep in Peaches Smash Beer raised money for StacheStrong, an organization that supports brain cancer research. Knee Deep in Peaches was also a collaboration with Waycross, Georgia, band The Pine Box Dwellers. The band designed the beer’s logo and can art.

When Barry was recently in Asheville, North Carolina, he visited White Labs Brewing Co., who are known for brewing beers of nearly identical recipes, only altering the yeast, to produce noticeable differences in flavor and aroma.

How to Save a Life was once certified as the best-selling digital album of all time at the time, beating the record previously held by Coldplay’s X&Y.

Abigail saw The Fray live at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, California, in July 2007.

Slow Paddle Porter was modeled after Deschutes Brewery’s Black Butte Porter.

Barry and Abigail discuss The Lonesome Jubilee by John Cougar Mellencamp and sample Just Like Old Times, Spring Shake-Cation, Acai Juliet, and Ambient #7 from Mastry’s Brewing Co. in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

Many thanks to Matt Dahm, Owner-Founder of Mastry’s Brewing Co., for sitting down with us to discuss the history of the brewery!

Although she did not visit the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly about Music this time, Abigail did hear similarities between The Real Life and Light the Fuse by Jack Cornell [previously interviewed on Friendship Wins (Jack Cornell and Tripping Animals Brewing Co.)]. The message of the song and the specificity of the storytelling reminded Barry of Growing Older But Not Up by Jimmy Buffett.

Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes is reminiscent of an O. Henry tale.

Ambient #7 is brewed with hops grown by the UF/IFAS Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Wimauma, Florida.

Barry, Abigail, and guest Jeff “Jafo” Shettler discuss Jeff’s Jukebox submission, Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. We also sample Green Tea IPA and Creatures of Habit from brewLAB in Carpinteria, California, as well as two of Jafo’s own homebrew creations, Haze Phazer and Hazy 8.

brewLAB recommended pairing their beer with music from Skinshape. We listened to I Didn’t Know while tasting.

Pink Floyd recently released Hey Hey Rise Up, featuring Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Ukrainian band BoomBox. The vocals are lifted from a viral video of Khlyvnyuk singing Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow, a Ukrainian patriotic march written in 1914. Proceeds from the single support the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.

Barry and Jafo met as coworkers working for James Cameron and his brother Dave on “everything between Titanic and Avatar.” Barry and then-Captain Jafo met at their eventual shared workplace, The Sojourner, a research vessel owned by the Blue Planet Marine Research Foundation.

The opening and closing tracks of Wish You Were Here comprise a nine-part composition called Shine On You Crazy Diamond, written about and dedicated to Syd Barrett, a former Pink Floyd member who was asked to leave the band due to mental health issues.

Follow Jafo on Twitter at @mrshettler1.

Up next… I’m Not Dead by P!nk

Jafo also randomly selected our next Jukebox episode, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips, submitted by Paul Zawacki, scheduled to drop on August 5, 2022.
