Baxie talks to Bob Walkenhorst of The Rainmakers. In the mid-1980's The Rainmakers were being hailed as "The most promising rock group in America". But, by very little fault of their own, the band didn't quite reach those expectations. And yet, The Rainmakers endured. It's an amazing story of a great band that became the victim of unfortunate distribution, bad timing, and unforeseen circumstance. In spite of this, The Rainmakers were very successful in Europe. It's a hell of a story from a guy who was the primary song writer for a band that seemed to have everything going its way. Bob talks about the band, songwriting, recording at Ardent Studios in Memphis, and about what happened along the way. Great stuff!

Baxie talks to Hugh Patterson from the San Francisco punk band, No Alternative. No Alternative was a staple in the San Francisco punk scene in the last 70's and early 80's. And while they did not commit a lot of music to vinyl at the time, Liberation Hall Records has just released an amazing live album of the band in their prime. The name of the record is "Live at the Mabuhay Garden: November 7th, 1980". This was a performance that shows why No Alternative were so highly regarded by both fans and other musicians at the time. We talk about that, the band, and where things stand today. We also talk in depth about his other profession--as a chess master/coach/and columnist. Amazingly interesting stuff!

Baxie talks to former member of The Fresh Young Fellows, Scott McCaughey. Scott is currently involved with The Baseball Project--an excellent Super Group that includes Steve Wynn from The Dream Syndicate, his wife drummer Linda Pitmon, plus Peter Buck and Mike Mills from REM. They've just released their fourth album "Grand Salami Time"...and yes, it's about baseball. Scott talks about the album, baseball, and the upcoming tour (which includes stop in Cambridge on August 19th and at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, Connecticut on August 20th). But we also talk about collaborating with REM for the last 29 years and about the stroke that he recovered from in 2017! This one was a lot of fun!
