Heath J Hardin aka 'Olds Sleeper' and 'Jellyspine Jenkins' writes and records his songs on a Zoom H2 portable recorder.  He's the king of low-fi production.  His active 'I wonder what that would sound like' mind has conjured up 29+ album projects of mostly original compositions.  Join me for a fun conversation.

Retired educator Guy Hofer grew up in Chicago listening to his father play fiddle for the Kenosha Cornhuskers.  His musical life began playing a ukulele with three broken strings.  A Gibson hollow body electric gave way to an Italian acoustic 6-string.  His retirement gift to himself was a Martin.  Guy talks about music, teaching French and Spanish, and throws in a good story about the Oscar Mayer jingle.

I discuss the different stages of recording 'Fredericktowne Christmas'... warts and all.  ;-)
