Episode 63: Rob Davis
Rob Davis is a son, a sibling, a father, a fiancé, a chef, a baseball aficionado, and a brethren in Phish of the truest kind. I was thrilled and honored that he carved out a slice of time for me so that we could sit down together and record Episode #63 of the podcast.
We swapped stories of our partying days and our musical journeys that ultimately led to our discoveries of the greatest band in American rock history.
The albums that Rob tabbed for his episode are as follows:
Tea for the Tillerman (1970), Cat Stevens
George Winston's December (1982)
The Final Cut (1983), Pink Floyd
Phish's Junta (1989)
One from the Vault (1991), Grateful Dead
If you're in the Kansas City area and have a hankering to sink your teeth into some of Rob's vittles, you can sample his wares at Marina 27 Steak & Seafood out at Lake Lotawana, and if you do, please consider treating him to a round of golf on one of his rare days off.
And if you're scouring the Internet, please visit the Merch' store of the podcast's Web site and consider treating yourself to a hoodie or a sticker or -- my personal new favorite -- a custom t-shirt.
Give our chat a listen if it sounds intriguing to you. And as always, thank you for stopping by.
episode edit: It's not called "Strawberry Letters." Rather: "Strawberry Letter 23."
copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio for the show's promo or the show's intro/outro. The former comes from the closing track to Benevento/Russo Duo's 2006 record entitled, Play Pause Stop (c/o Royal Potato Family); the track's name is "Memphis." The latter comes from "Golgi Apparatus" off of Phish's 1989 release, Junta (c/o Elektra Entertainment Company).
