Episode 222 - It’s Good to Be Alive

Musician Eric Gaines makes his first podcast appearance to talk about the Glean sleeper hit "Good to Be Alive." With two percussionists chatting, of course we get into the weeds on percussion and percussion technique in response to the arrangement of this tune. We break down the song throughly, and also talk about how much more poignant this song has become in the past year for Mr. John Flansburgh.
