The Ragman Show - Podcast-011

What is your fountain of youth for you?  Is it exercise, rock n roll, or beer?  I answer to all of the above.  Getting older sucks, but you can fight father time if you find that thing or things that keeps you young.  Are you a fan of supergroups?  If you are do you want the guys in the band writing the music, or someone writing it for them?  Tune in to get Ragman's thoughts.  Next Rag's brings in his buddy Eric Martin from Mr. Big.  Eric talks about Mr. Big's upcoming final tour as well as what he's doing on the side.  This is a fun one so buckle in, grab a beer and get ready to rock.  Horns Up!
