I Wish More People Were Here: Mother's Day with Bebe Kern
<p>"Babies Don't Let Your Mamas Grow Up To Be Cowboys"</p><p>For this Mother's Day episode we have this baby's mama, Ms. Bebe Kern, in the crib.</p><p>From The University of Alabama's Million Dollar Marching Band through San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury scene of the late '60s, in New Orleans second line parades and Appalachian string summits, my mom is a fascinating eye-witness to music history.</p><p>Believe it or not there are musicians who for one reason or another keep themselves going by just answering to the music itself and not chasing fame or income. The song is the game and they play like proud cats on the hunt, with little tunes dangling out of their mouths and word-nip in their fur.</p><p>My mother is one such animal. She's as excited to find and share music as she is to play with it and eat it. And she doesn't suffer fools. Her appreciation of the primitive and arcane, and trained knowledge of theory make her one of the sharpest musicians I know and the best mentor someone like me could hope for. She instilled in me respect for the power of words, rhythm, and the 7th chord.</p>

I Wish More People Were Here with Jimmy Brad Ray
<p>Episode 6, "Jimmy Brad Takes Seriously What The Gods Meant For Fun."</p><p>James Bradley Raymond: "The Pied Piper of Southern Garage Rock"; dive bar residents from NYC to Atlanta and Austin, TX know Jimmy Brad as the world's friendliest (and clumsiest) frontman, the face of Jimmy and the Teasers. To North Carolinians, he and his bands were ubiquitous darlings of Sleazefest in Chapel Hill and the Heavy Rebel 4th of July Weekender in Winston-Salem. Closer to home, for me though, he's the caretaker of Teaser Ranch, a rest stop and recording house for the exotic and mundane.</p><p>Today Jimmy Brad gives us a bird's eye look at NC's ridiculously fertile rock scene.</p><p>Referenced: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.upbeatatl.org/">The Tigerbeat Foundation for Musicians </a>UpBeat! is a non-profit created to provide a sense of community by assisting musicians in need.</p><p>Support this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.patreon.com/c/drunkenprayer">www.patreon.com/c/drunkenprayer</a></p>
