Join us (and by us I mean myself and Francis Grennon (whom I first met and befriended in 1993 because he was wearing an Ozzy shirt and I was wearing a Metallica shirt and it was love at first sight) as we welcome a brilliant and trend-setting guest each episode to nerd out about…songs. Which songs?
The guest picks a song to discuss, and then we each pick a song that somehow relates to the guests’ pick.
Stories, fun facts, song breakdowns or whatever else that comes mind when we get together.
Or for the quick elevator pitch:
3 peeps talk a lot about 3 songs😁
