A podcast that explores the world through the eyes of entertainers, musicians, singer/songwriters, recording engineers, managers, venue owners and people who make a living on stage and behind the scenes. We recount funny stories, gigs from hell, influences, and occasionally share a secret or two.

If you have been listening to some of previous  Tales of the Road Warriors podcast, then you already know that the GA or Great American Food and Beverage Company is  where I worked as a singing waiter in the 70’s. 

Johnny Roquemore was one of my favorite coworkers there. Before we got into sharing our “how we got fired from the GA” stories, we start out like a couple of old men talking about our respective surgeries. Turns out that we are (as John puts it) “bowel brothers”.

I swore when I was younger that I would never turn out to be one of those old geezers who goes on and on about their medical condition and  bore people with long drawn out descriptions of gross  surgical procedures and shit. But  Johnny brought it up, so we did end up talking about that stuff in the beginning. So if this ain’t what you signed up for, just skip to about 8:44.  Personally, I think some of that 8 minutes is the best, but, hey… totally up to you.

NOTE: On the podcast, I said 6:44 minutes. At the time, I hadn't yet added the intro. Sorry :-)

Eventually, we  get into trading stories about our current gigs….  me at a hotel in Wayne, PA and private parties here on the East Coast, and Johnny at private parties and local festivals. More Show Notes
