NOTES
FTB #108 marks the final audio entry in a year that defies description. A simple (or even complex) Year In Review or Countdown just wouldn’t cut it for this more than slightly dazed senior citizen. While dealing with and ultimately surviving stage four cancer punched up an E ticket worth of brand new emotional turmoil and angst, an unrelenting 2020 shrugged and said, “Hold My Beer!” Ever the cockeyed optimist I can point to more than a few positive developments that occurred and hope we have finally at least reached the beginning of the end of this unrelenting maelstrom of uncertainty. What this episode represents is the personal inner soundtrack that played for the bulk of what essentially became a stretch of time without a calendar or clock.  And sometimes you can dance to it. You will also hear a tribute to the just departed Leslie West, a musician’s musician that was blessed with a signature tone and exceptional technique and musicality. He was also a very funny and fine human. Continued gratitude for all your support at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR. Have a safe, healthy and very Happy New Year.
