Episode 123: Brian McCarty
As the beat goes on, I found myself lucky enough to sit down with Brian McCarty, and visit with him about his life and his journey as a musician.
It's Episode No. 123, and this one was a treat.
Please join me and Brian as we talk about his roles in The Matchsellers, Greg Blake & Hometown, plus his duo setup.
We also poked around at family and growing up, the pursuit of dreams, happiness, and the appropriate life path to walk. We also took a peek at a few of his favorite records, which were these:
Black Sabbath's Paranoid (1970)
Newgrass Revival (s/t), (1972)
Dead Milkmen's Big Lizard in My Backyard (1985)
Del & the Boys (2001), Del McCoury Band
I feel very grateful to have had this conversation with Brian, and to have gotten this podcast to the place it has come to live. Thank you to those of you that support it, and best of luck to Brian in his future endeavors.
