When the mic goes live, it's not just about the podcast voice—it's about the echoes of old friendships and the music that's been the soundtrack to our lives. Reunited with Joe Morin of Edison Glass, we wade through the laughter, the struggles of life on the road, and the burrito joints that somehow stick in our minds more than the venues we played. This episode isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's an exploration of the personal growth that comes from the genuine connections we forge, and a testament to the therapeutic power of revisiting our history.
As we stitch together the tapestry of our past, Joe and I grapple with the concepts of redemption and grace that have framed our narratives. From the unpredictability of touring life to the bittersweet act of sifting through memories, we unpack how these experiences have shaped us into the adults we've become. Joe's continued dedication to music, post-Edison Glass, serves as a poignant reminder that our artistry captures the essence of who we are at different moments—each album a chapter in the story of our lives.
Concluding with musings on our desire for control, this episode touches on the personal anecdotes and shared experiences that have defined our evolving music careers. We laugh about sneaking into concerts and those formative years that laid the foundation for our musical identities. As we discuss the challenges of aging, parenthood, and health, there's a sense of camaraderie and understanding that resonates deeply. Join us for an intimate journey through the complexities of life, the pursuit of dreams, and the unbreakable bond of music that intertwines our stories.
