Another car session recorded in Fabulous Las Vegas. I talk music and nerd-rock songwriting with a young musician named David Michael Thomas who plays in local bands 3d6 and Time Crashers. He sat in the back seat of his car and sang songs about Star Wars, dragons, armageddon and video games. I sat outside. He's a very talented musician! Enjoy and share with everyone you know.

After a long quarantine hiatus the RBTTFAS webcast is back. I meet with a talented songwriter from Las Vegas named Brenden K. Jones. He performs under the moniker The Midnight Disease. He sat in a car and I sat 6 feet away outside of the car. I snaked a sterilized clip on mic with an 8 foot cable through the window and we made a webcast. Just like Clancy would. Thanks for listening and don't be afraid to share this with your friends.

I met Whitney Mongé more than a decade ago while she and I were busking in the Pike Place Market. She is now a staple of the Seattle music scene. She gigs around the city as a solo or with a power trio playing her original, soulful music with much success. You can find her at The Hard Rock Cafe on Valentine's Day for the third year in a row. She met me in a small office in the Pike Place Market to reminisce and look to the future. Thanks to Megan Lee for loaning us the office to meet in. Thanks for listening. Please leave a review wherever you listen to this podcast.

Jonah Ray lives in Los Angeles. We used to work in a record store together in Venice Beach. He's is on tour working on material for a new comedy record.

We talk about old days and new days and MST3K. Jonah, Cash and Neil make a podcast called Jonah Raydio that I love and you should listen to next. Thanks for listening.

I saw a guy singing in the street ( a bunch of times) and asked him to be on my podcast. His name is Jakob Jess. His new album of original songs is called "3am In My Bed". We walked to a noisy public park right next to the seattle freeway. We talked about busking and he played a few songs and a manic human on the brink of sanity flipped a metal table over a few feet from the interview. Life is a highway.
