Episode 155: Kyle Maggart
Kyle Maggart of Brothers Music in Shawnee joined me for Episode No. 155, and I enjoyed the heck out of our conversation.
His joint can be found at 12206 Johnson Drive, and they can be reached at 913-766-3869, or followed on Instagram as @brothersmusickc.
We talked about growing up, getting into music at a young age, starting a business, and collecting a ton of vinyl.
Naturally, we talked about a few of Kyle's favorites, which were these:
Blue Train (1958), John Coltrane
The Band's Music from The Big Pink (1968)
There's No Place Like America Today (1975), Curtis Mayfield
Toots & the Maytals' Funky Kingston (1976)
Graceland (1986), Paul Simon
UGK's Too Hard to Swallow (1992)
I'd be remiss if I didn't give shouts out to the late, great Patrick "Potshake Dubwise" DuBois, and his fantastic KDUR FM radio show, Roots, Ragga, Radio, out of Durango, CO's Fort Lewis College (Go, Skyhawks!). Patrick was as kind as they come, and I'll always be grateful to him for both that and for showing me a few corners of the college/community-radio ropes.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't give Kyle props for saying that Southern American Gospel might be the next frontier. One of the cooler collection of words spoken to date on the podcast.
Please consider paying Brothers Music a visit if you're in the area, and give them an Instagram follow. Thank you to Kyle, and to everyone who tunes in.
Cheers.
