7/17/24 (Recorded in March)  Hal Meyers is one of the most brilliant and interesting humans that I've ever met on this planet. Hal has a mind that works like no other! That's a complement by the way. I have enjoyed many musical adventures with my friend Hal. Not only is Hal a great musician but he is also a world class MAGICIAN! Hal has traveled all over the world with his magic show. I might need to have him on again to tell more stories of life, magic and music.

Joined this week by my friend Jose Santiago in a little part of Alabama in between Mobile and Pensacola, Florida. Some would say Florabama area. This is an interesting part of the country, I've been visiting for a few years now, excited to get a chance to hear from Jose some of the features of the local music scene and hear about his upbringing from Puerto Rico to the United States as a young man. Welcome to Jimmy Buffet Country!!

1/11/24 - (Previously recorded summer of 2023)  My regularly scheduled guest is a musician or artist of some sort. Alana Castaneda is a special person I had the honor of meeting at a show. She shares her amazing story in this episode. Attacked at a Whole Foods in Texas, Alana was beaten and shot in the face! Thanks to some incredible self strength and fast action from the folks at Whole Foods, she is still alive today and has a new level of feeling grateful to be alive. (Since the filming of this podcast, Alana's attacker was sentenced to 45 years in jail)

You can catch a clip of Alana on the Dr. Phil show:
