Steve Krojniewski joins Karl and Rob in The Stew and addresses his recent health issues (and why his band Interstate Transit remains on hold). Steve explains these problems and offers specific examples of how he discovered he had serious issues, the persistence required to find out the specific nature of the problems and to overcome them.
Steve, the drummer for Ali Baba's Tahini and many other acts, talks about why he has enjoyed collaborating with Karl over the years. He also explains his affection for the universal nature of Karl's lyrics and offers many memories from their 25+ year relationship. A conversation about the song "Dancing with The Rat" inspires Karl to demonstrate its evolution - later we hear how Steve chased down the award-winning Callisto Quartet to perform on "Last Night in America" and how it all played out.
"Krojo" recalls birthdays past including one that is marked in time by a picture of Brendan Bayliss on Karl's lap - and each respond to Jake Cinninger's suggestion that Karl is the "Syd Barrett of The South." Steve takes us into the very first rehearsals and performances of what would become ABT, gives a strikingly candid assessment of a young Karl Englemann, explains some of the creative ways ABT helped "make ends meet" on tour and he reveals how Karl's band mates responded to Karl's decision to leave South Bend and move south all those years ago.
Karl and Krojo explain where the name Hopi Champa came from and bring forth various tidbits of info on how each ABT record was created. They get specific on several songs including "Last Hurrah", "Resolution", and the title track of Bottom Feeders. We also learn about other South Bend bands like Juniper Tree and Fielder Blue, and we get Krojo's thoughts on UFOs, haunted houses, and sports.
Finally, Krojo and Karl explain Dyngus Day and Karl makes Zapiekanka an open-faced sandwich and popular Polish street food in the 1970's based on a recipe that Steve sent him.
