This week's special return-for-the-first-time guest is one of Charleston's best, Mr. Lee Barbour. Film scoring; songwriting; improvising; living in the moment; creating a "womb-like atmosphere"; Tim Hecker; emotion in music...as well as many other things relative to Lee's art and creative pursuits.

Dan Patrick and Whitt Algar graciously sit down with us to discuss their views on everything from "bullet belts and lipstick" to their band New Ghost Town. I had a great time hosting these two gentlemen, and they are definitely two of Charleston's most enduring performers and songwriters. This episode also features some great bumper music from guitarist Mike Miller (with me on upright bass, just to remain transparent).

Talking with Noah and Jamal was a truly great experience...both men are deep thinkers and were quite inspiring regarding community and creativity. Plenty of original music featured on this episode for everyone to enjoy. Give us a listen and a share.

For this episode, SMP takes a deep dive into the world of brass. This is the first episode to also feature a guest-host, Mr. Andy Masker, who is also much more knowledgeable on this subject...so I largely stayed out of his way on this one. Dr. David Carter, Hank Bilal, and Chris Williams are the featured guests...lots of great music here. Give us a listen and a share if you like what we're doing.

Was very happy to host Zandrina Dunning and Stephen Washington...a very engaging conversation was had among three friends. In fact, it was Zandrina who originally encouraged me to do this podcast. We discussed topics as diverse as: church musicianship, appreciating your collaborators, Gullah Music Collective, even more on "feel," what producers look for, goals, family, etc. Bumper music provided by Andy Masker.

Sean Bing and Cameron Wescott (The Psycodelics) sat down to discuss a wide range of topics. I really learned a lot from these guys...both provide so many great musical insights here. There's also some REALLY wonderful music in this episode for you to enjoy as well. We talked about the pocket, recording and writing, future goals, reflections on their successes, musical influences, their time on Jam Cruise, etc. The topic of Madison Square Garden was mentioned briefly but wonderfully. I had a great time and I hope you will as well.

Elise and Wallace set down to discuss musicianship, their history together as collaborators, and their thoughts about their own diverse and inspiring musical journeys. Wallace lures us into an extended metaphor about how keeping time is like fly fishing. Elise cops to using roosters as promotional cannon fodder. Stratton Moore makes his long-prophesized return as co-host...deftly weaves together a tapestry of narrative splendor. A great and far-reaching conversation that I think you will all enjoy.

For the 12th episode of the show I sit down with the amazingly talented artist Graham Whorley. Graham is a truly one-of-a-kind artist and someone I've respected and admired for many years. Lots of musical topics, and non-musical topics, are addressed and even redressed. We also solve the problem with artificial intelligence with magic, as well as tell a couple anecdotes about a truly magical shared friend. Music selections from Graham's extensive catalogue are creative and varied...definitely recommend checking out more from his catalogue. As always, thanks to Drew Madden and Maybank Public House for allowing us use of their space.

This episode is one episode in two chapters...with two of Charleston's truly remarkable guitarists. Questions were asked and answered. Some truly wonderful music was submitted for this show from both featured guests, as well as some new listener-submitted bumper music by Kelly Sanchez. The first interview with Dave Grimm takes place on location at the Pour House's new green room right before Dave hit the stage for MoTown Throwdown. The second interview with David Sink takes place at Maybank Public House as is typical for the show. LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/SHARE YET?
