Isn't it great when new bands remind you of older bands?  I love when I hear a song from a newer band that reminds me of a band I used to listen too.  Check out a couple new bands that Ragman recently disovered.  Also, when is it time to hang it up?  Time and time again we ponder the question.  When should the leather jacket and mic be put away?  Tune in to get Ragman's thoughts.  Next Ragman welcomes in guitar extrodinaire Harry Cody of Zan/Cody (Shotgun Messiah and Rhino Bucket) to discuss Zan/Cody's debut release Beautiful "N Damned.  Harry talks about reuniting with Zinny Zan as well as providing insight about several songs on the new album.  All of this and much more on this episode.  So grab a beer, buckle in and get those horns up..
