Shownotes Transcript

Who knew finding a golf club at our table could spark such an amusing journey through our latest episode of "Try That in a Small Town"? We kick things off with some lighthearted banter about over-preparing, giant bongs, and the NSAI awards, where our song was honored among the "10 Songs I Wish I'd Written." Performing for the first time at the historic Ryman Auditorium was nothing short of humbling, especially with our peers recognizing our work despite its political nuances. The acoustic set, performed with minimal resources and technical support, provided plenty of laughs and challenges, but also highlighted our gratitude for our backstage teams.The episode takes a turn as we pay tribute to the legendary Chris Christopherson, whose influence on our music is undeniable. We share personal reflections on his legacy and celebrate his masterpieces like "Sunday Morning Coming Down." Navigating the unpredictable nature of live performances, we recount tales of stage lighting mishaps and overcoming personal challenges like partial vision impairment. These stories reveal the resilience and adaptability needed on stage while also showcasing the lighter side of our performances.Dedication to our fans is at the heart of this episode as we give a shout-out to our super fan Ed and address feedback from a more critical listener. We cherish every comment, whether glowing or less enthusiastic, and invite all listeners to engage with us. Wrapping things up with a humorous discussion about an unusual golf club gift, we emphasize the importance of audience interaction and encourage you to subscribe and explore our merchandise.
