Episode 44: Sammy Sanchez

Sammy Sanchez is a son, a brother, a boyfriend, a bartender, and a music aficionado in the truest sense of the word.

Having recorded Episode #30 with his father, Cesar, I was pleased as punch to get to sit down with a member of the next generation, and wax both tunes and philosophical.

Sammy selected Small Change (1976) by Tom Waits, Pink Floyd's Animals from a year later, and LCD Soundsystem's 2010 release, This is Happening, and boy were they a treat to discuss with him.

Being in the presence of two amazing humans such as Sammy and his father were blessings, to be sure, and -- even though Cesar tipped me off that his boy knows a ton about music -- I was blown away at today's guest's knowledge and attention to detail.

Sammy is the kind of dude the world needs more of right now, and -- until we have that -- I think we really just need to root for the ones we do have and know about.

So, even though I know he's destined for a life of greatness and joy, I'm pulling for him, nonetheless. He's got a bright future ahead of him, and -- if I play my cards right -- maybe we'll sit down together again sometime soon.

Thank you for giving our conversation a listen.
