Imagine a time where almost all of the most popular bands on the planet not only knew each other, but also had played in the same clubs - and in some instances- even played in each other bands.  The book 'Nothin' But A Good Time' - documents this era- the 1980s on Hollywood Sunset Strip.  The bands are now household names- Guns N Roses, Poison, Motley Crue and more!  But years before they were on MTV they were on the Sunset Strip hanging flyers on telephone polls, fighting other bands and their own bandmates.  

The book will bring back a lot of memories for those of you who were alive back then.  For those who weren't- buckle up!  Co-author Tom Beaujour joined host Jamie Green to talk all about the book

Change can be hard; it also can spark creativity.  In the case of Maia Sharp, a move to Nashville after the end of a 21 year marriage was the catalyst for her new album.  We discuss the new album, the craft of songwriting, her move to Nashville and much more!

"I think I have my favorites then another slays me. Maia is a master in her absolute prime — out of the ballpark once again, but this one really ignites everything that is different and brilliant about her writing, singing, songwriting and production. I’m running out of superlatives! " - Bonnie Raitt
