Growing up, the idea of cracking a whip might've been reserved for cowboys and outback legends, but I found my own slice of victory with it at just ten years old. Now, with the possibility of a 2024 comeback on my mind, I'm reminded of how those quirky triumphs and fears - like my irrational phobia of slugs - shape the stories we share. In this episode, join me, Dean Franklin, along with Boorowa's beloved musicians, Tory Corcoran, and Jason Stewart, as we meander through tales of the Crown Inn's historic morph into the Courthouse Hotel and the symphony of our lives that creates the music we love. Together, we uncover the inspirations behind our song choices, how looping stations add flair to our performances, and the nostalgia of Australian tracks that tugs at the heartstrings.
 
 Imagine picking up a guitar and feeling a rush of memories with every strum or teaching the youth the power of music sans the screechy recorder - that's the kind of passion Tory, Jason, and I share. Our conversation ranges from the technicalities of guitar tuning to the reluctance of turning our passions into burdensome chores. We strike chords on personal anecdotes, from the hilarity of school music assessments to the regrets of not pursuing music earlier, and the intricate relationship each musician has with their instrument. It's a symphony of laughter, lessons, and the sheer love of music that has us tuning in more than just our guitars.
 
 Wrap up the episode with a click, not of a metronome, but of social media platforms that broadcast our creative journeys. As the Courthouse Hotel stands testament to Boorowa's legacy, we too celebrate our community spirit, from the local cricket pitches to Australia Day revelries. We bat around the role of social media in amplifying our sounds, the authenticity in our mistakes, and the importance of local representation in the upcoming Hilltops council elections. It's not just a podcast; it's a historical tapestry woven with the threads of music, personal tales, and communal connections that craft the vibrant fabric of our town.
