Episode 129 - Wayne Carpenter

Wayne Carpenter is Jaymee's father, a New York born singer/songwriter who lived and breathed music from his earliest life. Wayne developed himself as a performer and writer while attending prestigious music colleges before chasing his dreams on the West Coast in the early 1970's pursuing a record deal with his band (which included Jaymee's mother). But a twist of fate and a mouth to feed (Jaymee's birth) redirected Wayne's life into a new career, as an executive of the biggest record store chain in America (The Wherehouse) during the Southern California record store explosion of the late 1970's & 80's. This podcast features a highly entertaining journalistic behind the scenes account of both the golden age of the recording industry and the birth of record store culture, as well as an uncommon conversation between a Jaymee and his father, who makes his first guest appearance on the podcast.
