Talking Music and other Stuff: DAILY DOSE

In this episode I talk about some music news, and also touch on, touring bands that grind and struggle to simply survive out on the road these days …and the Live Music Venues that also share in the grind and struggle to survive. Is it all worth it ? I also touch on politics (for less than 15 seconds …which in most cases is what everybody should do) . But that said, I feel your voice should be heard and if you don’t vote, you aren’t being heard and therefore ya can’t complain about the outcome that follows !

It’s the DAILY DOSE so I jumped on real quick to say ..hi …hello …how are you? It’s 8pm and almost a wrap here on July 19th ! Hope y’all had a wonderful great day. Super day, sunny, warm, glorious July day here in Western New York! Hope ya smiled, laughed, and had some fun. Y’all be well. Back soon !!!!!

In this episode, I talk about and comment on should aging rockers be touring with the lakes of Def Leppard journey Mötley Crüe and others out touring backlash and criticism seems to follow. I also take a deep dive into my feelings on Social Media, the good the bad, the ugly, and the daily wealth of negativity… why can’t we just say nice thing and all just get along… ENJOY.

We have launched !!!

In Season 2 ,Episode #2 I had the chance to talk to Tommy Brunett. There was so much to talk to Tommy about as he has had a long a diverse career as not only a musician but now and entrepreneur with his Whiskey brand. Amongst other things, we talked about how he got started in music, the band he formed in the 80's "Immaculate Mary" that clawed it's way to the top of the music scene in Rochester New York and what caused it to eventually come to a halt...OH, ....and how his passion for whiskey started his own brand ...named Iron Smoke Whisky.  ~ ENJOY
