Episode 173: King Corduroy

vicodin has a strange effect on me. hello my friends! i hope you're all doing well. i'm good. i had some dental work done and i'm feeling better, but had to take some vicodin because the pain was getting to me. i played in houston this weekend with skyrocket. we played at a rich person's house. rockstar chef, monica pope made and served us our food. that was cool. she was really nice. i'll post a picture on the facebook page. i'm going to try to get her on the the show. i went to my grandmother's 90th birthday party. it was nice to see the whole family. my grandmother had a great time. it's nice to see her so happy. happy birthday abita! our guest for episode 173 is kurt mcmahan from the band, king corduroy! i met kurt a few years ago when he was the door guy at momo's here in austin. we reconnected when we played a show together a couple of months ago and i asked if he'd be interested in coming to the apartment and telling me his story. he came over to the apartment a couple of weeks ago and he told me all about it. growing up in alabama on a steady diet of soul, blues and rock, selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door, giving up alcohol, going to recording school, his various musical projects and the new king corduroy album, "austin soul stew" and much, much more. kurt is a great guy. i hope you enjoy our conversation. i did. ciao! -jg
