Former frontman of the Band Bag of Grass, David Casper is now a construction worker living in the Pacific Northwest. David drops by the crabshed to talk with me about our shared experiences in school, working in dangerous environments, and the possibility of undiagnosed cognitive and psychiatric issues. We go into the nuts and bolts of working in the construction field, with an emphasis on roofing, a job both of us have done. We also talk about David's struggles in school, his possible dyslexia, the back injury that left him stuck in a brace and unable to compete in the sports that he loved. We also get to hear about the first time David tried Marijuana, and that story has a surprising character.
If you like a good old-fashioned hang, this is the podcast for you. We had no main agenda, but we somehow kept hitting one interesting topic after another and the two hours flew by. Thanks to David for being such a great guest. Enjoy the show!
