OLD MAN SIDE PROJECT: EPISODE ONE & TWO with Raymond Watts

The very first episode of the OLD MAN SIDE PROJECT podcast is FINISHED and ready for listening, downloading, what have you: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/3xaqdlc7vg1d5ae/OldMan001.mp3

This was something I wanted to do for a while with my old friends. Just sitting around talking about the old days, good times, and great memories. We have all lost a lot of great people in the last couple years and I felt it was a cool way to have a lasting digital memory of my friends and our experiences. I hope it also may inspire some of you out there to get together with your friends, roll some tape, have a few cold ones, and do the same. Just talking about the great times and have something a little more lasting than a photograph.

EPISODE 1 features my good friend Raymond Watts from Joplin and we talked about how we met, our 20+ year friendship, our early years in Joplin, Raymond's hockey obsession, and some of the friends we have lost. Raymond had a great story about Ryan Smith and we even dropped a couple VD songs at the end (Stan, don't sue us!!!). EPISODE 2 is the continuation of our conversation. It's recorded and will be up on Sunday.

So here it is, give it a listen on this Friday night if you have nothing to do or drop it on your phone or device and pull it up whenever you might be feeling a little nostalgic.

AND........
UPDATE: EPISODE 2 of the Old Man Side Project is now done too: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/1pacclucp02l30q/OldMan002.mp3

In this 2nd installment with Raymond, more funny Ryan Smith/VD stories as well as some about our bro Shane Chapman who we lost last year. And, more beer-fueled hazy memories of a bygone era in Joplin. I hope all you folks in the 417 enjoy our reflections, and again, maybe get inspired to sit down with your brothers and sisters and just talk...reminisce...remember...

You are all truly missed...following the podcast I dug out my box of Joplin tapes and we listened to some VD, Squirm, Initial Detonation, and Last Call. I had a great week with my brother Raymond. See you soon, bro...
