News Alert!

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:40:20 -0400

FUN!

I got super lazy over the holidays about the podcasts. I recorded them and never uploaded them and now it’s April and the “most recent” podcast was from back in December. Whoops.

So, as of yesterday, the actual most recent episodes are up at http://blacktopmemories.podomatic.com/. Additionally, the media player in the Blacktop Memories dash is now streaming last week’s show!

This week’s show will be a Bex-solo, so expect nothing to make sense and, of course, except a block of cover songs! Next week (April 13th), I hope to have two of my favorite people in the studio: Rich and JACKIE! So, be sure to tune in for that one because I suspect it will be a hoot.

Lastly, I will leave you with a short list of albums to which I am currently jamming:
1) The Avett Brothers ”The Carpenter”
2) Old Man Markley “Down Side Up”
3) Your Gentlemen “Sincerely”

All are available on Spotify!
