Episode #268 – Will Parker
Turns out that Will Parker and I were literally about a 10 minute drive from each other when this interview happened. So bummed! If it weren’t for Covid-19 we could have chatted in person rather than over the phone. “Will Parker is a children’s songwriter and teaching artist who writes and performs music for “kids ages 1-100.” During Will’s whimsical and interactive shows, he plays guitar and harmonica and sings original songs that engage the audience in singing-along, dancing, high-fiving, and imaginative play.” Stay tuned all the way until the end of the show to hear his song ‘Bilgus the Swamp Dwarf’. Will is all about imagination and you’ll love his music!

Good Stuff Sports #21 – Bob Katz
Sometimes things don’t work out the way we plan. That’s the case for EZ the main character in Bob Katz’s “EZ And The Intangibles”.

Episode #177 – Margot Bevington
Here she is! Margot Bevington is a teacher and musician who makes joyful and gentle music that you and your family will enjoy. This is her first podcast interview and she knocked it out of the park.

It was so cool that she took time out of her day job which is teaching music to high school students (and many other ages) to talk to me.
