Tonight I am talking to Josh Duke. He’s the main man of Campfire Gathering and he asked me to be the camp counselor for the event. I told him that I always knew my strength was songwriting but that I knew at my age that there was no way I could make it as a performing musician. What he was asking me to do is what I ACTUALLY LOVE to do. Engage the people. So here I am engaging with people of like minds.
Campfire Gathering takes place on March 16th and 17th in the pristine Texas hill country at Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs just 30 minutes west of Austin. Escape the craziness of SXSW. No lines. No waiting. Epic food and killer music. Tack on adult camp activities like archery and Axe throwing. How about a side of yoga and massage with a sidecar of one of the best music lineups today. Don’t miss this.
Anyway, Josh used to run sound for Willie Nelson and Guns and Roses. He LOVES the Cure. I sang Lovesong at his wedding accompanied by his brother James. I actually gave him as a baby present for his new daughter, two CDs of lullabies from GnR and the Cure. The icing on the cake was the toddler onsie that says, “Sweet Child O Mine”
One last thing. Some have asked me about the episode images. The podcast logo is a sunset backdrop with the silhouette of a woman and a record player. Each episode image is of the podcastee’s carving of their name in the table I built for a coffee table in 1992.
Let’s get to the conversation but first…
Close your eyes. You’re now on a desert island. What 5 records do you have?
