Part 267 – The Unforgiven II by Metallica
Driving back from dinner in Jamestown, NC with the Jeep top off under the stars, this came on the radio. 🌌 Had to play it.
Metallica always makes me think of my brothers—Benny + Bradford—as we’ve shared shows + love for the ’Tallica boys. 🤘 #Metallica

Part 266 – Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
Did “Torn” tonight—a 90s smash hit. Natalie Imbruglia was a soap star in Australia before this, and crazy enough, it’s actually a cover. 🎶

Part 258 – Black by Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder once said “Black” was too sad to play live for years. I used to feel that sadness too… but things worked out, and now I can sing it from a different place. 🙂

Part 257 – Lay Down Sally by Eric Clapton
By request from artist Karl (@kforfinction). 🎶
I figured I’d do “Promises” someday since it was my jukebox favorite back when I was a waiter at Ned’s Diner in Fillmore, NY. But tonight it’s “Lay Down Sally”—tiny NYC hotel room session. 🗽
