On this episode of The Rhythm Section Podcast, hosts Derrick and Jeff kick things off by celebrating some exciting music news — their friend John Roth has officially joined the legendary rock band Foreigner as their newest guitarist! Derrick also shares his own big announcement about stepping in as the new bassist for Pulse: Memphis Tribute to Pink Floyd. For the feature interview, the guys sit down with Tom Slagle, saxophonist and keyboardist for Thumpdaddy, Rock The Boat, Back In Time, and Heartless. Tom reflects on his musical roots, including his father Ed Slagle, a WWII veteran and Polka Hall of Fame inductee. He shares stories of his journey through various projects, his love for performing, and how he taught himself music theory the old-fashioned way — by reading books from the library.   TIP BUCKET If you find it in your heart to donate to the cause and help fuel the podcast you can do so through our new Venmo and CashApp. Your support is greatly appreciated and will help shine a brighter spotlight on the great Memphis Music Community.
