Episode 260 - Eric Reed - Hope vs. Wish
Jazz Musician Eric Reed sits down with us this week fresh from a tour in Europe. He tells us all about the LA and NYC jazz scene, and we listen to “The Way to Love” from his new album. We lost both George Romero and Martin Landau - we discuss their illustrious careers. At what point do aging rock stars need to step down? Do we want to watch these septuagenarians tripping across the stage just to satisfy our nostalgia? Why is it so hard for people to figure out where their seats are at theaters and concerts? You just sit down where your ticket tells you to sit - this shouldn’t be that complicated!
