HANDFUL OF LUVIN'
David John - vocalist, guitarist and composer joined me. David talked about his youth and growing up as a young man with his guitar, meeting classical violinist Andrew Joslyn and their meshing of their styles to form a duo to perform around the Billingham and then Seattle areas and how they came about finding bassist Patrick Files, and drummer Michael Knight and find the sound that they now describe as 'fiddle-driven roots rock'. We listened to tunes from Life In Between.

The "Doctor Of Blues" joined us to discuss his newest album, Blues Intervention, which is a fierce, energetic blend of blues, rock, soul, and funk. Together he calls it "acid blues."

He described his journey from growing up in a cabin in the woods, to his time in California, his education to earn hisPh.D. in psychology. We also talked about his friend John Wilds, who unfortunately suffered a stroke while recording the previous album with Marshall.
