The Ragman Show - Podcast-012

Ever been scammed?  Ever think you could be so gullible?  Well your boy Ragman fell for the oldest trick in the book, after his phone was stolen in The Big Easy.  Tune out to hear his story.  Next he brings in his boy Alex for a chat about music, nonsense and what ever comes to mind.  

Editor's NoteDue to some maybe excessive beer drinking Ragman got the band wrong on the Fit for a King tour.  It was Northlane, not Lorna Shore.  Close right?  That said you will get both in this show.

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!
