hey folks! don't forget... we have a live podcast THIS monday, may 13th 2013 at 7pm at the saxon pub in austin, tx!!!! our guests will be, the edison chair, david cotton and maybe a "special guest". if you're in austin, come do this with us. say hi afterwards. here's a link to the event page on facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/166923630137127/ hello friends!!!! i hope you are all living the proverbial dream today. i am back! we had some technical difficulties this week here at the studio. lost a whole episode in all of the confusion... it was a great conversation with one of my favorite comics, john tole. we'll do it again and i don't think it will happen again. is anyone out there a garageband specialist? i'm thinking about getting a new laptop and changing the way i record these podcasts and i could use some help/direction. other than that, i've been doing a lot of podcasts. i have some good shows for you guys... my guest for episode 170 is my mentor, producer/mixer/mastering guy/musician, mark hallman! i've known mark for over 30 years. he's the guys that brought me into this whole "music career". he put me in his band when i was 16. (i'll post some videos on the "how did i get here?" facebook page.) mark's been in the game for a long, long time, he owns the congress house studio here in austin. he's produced such luminaries as, carole king, ian matthews,  eliza gilkyson, will sexton and many, many more, he spent some years touring with dan fogelberg, he started a mixing and mastering career and has a thriving studio in a time when studios are dying off. we talk about all that stuff and so much more. i love mark dearly and owe him a great deal of thanks and acknowledgement for being so supportive, being such a great role model and teaching me music. enjoy! ciao! -jg
