Bradley Laird's Grass Talk Radio Podcast Support the show with Patreon The podcast for people who play bluegrass music or want to! Episode 152 - Ad Lib Thoughts The weather is beautiful. The sky is blue. The birds are chirping. The hens are laying. And yet everyone I talk to is worried, depressed, afraid, concerned. In short, very few folks are thinking about bluegrass. With the entire bluegrass world on "pause" right now I have to admit that it has been difficult for me to ramp up my own enthusiasm to talk and spin yarns about bluegrass. I would hit record and begin to go down little rabbit trails until I realized I wasn't really thinking much about bluegrass. Then I would hit stop. Make a few notes and begin again. Finally, I just let it roll. I suspect that many of you are thinking and feeling as I do right now. The episode begins with a listener "favor" email read by Jackson and then I talk about life's essentials, how breathing affects muscle tension, and how to focus your attention in a laser like fashion. More rambling and a shout out to a fellow podcaster who just released another great new episode. Thank you to my Patreon supporters. I have said it many times but it bears repeating: YOU are a huge part of making this happen. I do appreciate it! I sincerely do.
