  • Episode 030 - Footloose-y Goose-y Redux
    (Note: This episode needed editing and was missing the cold open and opening theme music. There was this 30 second gap where no sound is heard. I took out as many barking noises as I could then I tightened it up a decent amount. With that said, enjoy the show!)This episode has the first appearance of my wife, Laura, as the co-host and daughter, Norah, as producer. We aim to talk about Kenny Loggins and his hit singles from Footloose and Top Gun. Things go off the rails quickly as a neighborhood dog invades the recording. I forget the most of the actors in Top Gun. The term stunt dancing comes up. Then, finally, our votes are mentioned for the better of the two Loggins songs. Definitely a Footloose-y Goose-y affair!Find my page on Facebook: The Musical SpotE-mail: [email protected]/Show Notes: themusicalspot.substack.comYou can listen on the TuneIn Radio app, Pandora, Amazon Music along with Audible.Looking to get on Instagram, Spotify, and on YouTube Podcasts in the very near future.Thanks for listening!
