This week, the radio gods and the geography gods smiled down upon our little show. Blaine Campbell, a Los Angeles-based musician, recently reached out to me. Seems he was going to be in Sacramento over Thanksgiving weekend, spending time with family, and invited me to get together and hang out for a bit, maybe over coffee. When he mentioned that his availability would be Saturday, I smiled, and suggested the timeframe between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. I think you know how this turned out.

So, we had a good time. We played a couple of tracks from his wonderful 2016 album “Blue Mind”, and chatted about his career in music. We spent a segment listening to tracks that he brought from some of his favorite artists, and even fired up the old turntable to spin some rare vinyl treats. I was able to ask the hard hitting questions, and find out who his biggest musical influences were, and even his favorite food. I played some music for Blaine that he’d not heard before, and he played some stuff I’d never heard before. That’s what friends do–introduce each other to music that they like. It was a really fun meet up. https://blainecampbell.bandcamp.com/

Give a listen. I think you’ll like the music and appreciate the conversation.
