Musician Chris Baird, Curating Music at Bar Ellis, and confusing song titles

Join host Josh Cecil, co-host Tyler Mechem and Producer Chris for the Hamco Live Hot Ticket podcast, your guide to the Hamilton County live music scene. In this episode, special guest Chris Baird of the Chris Baird Trio  joins the show. Baird discusses his musical journey from a Navy brat listening to his mother's records to his current band, and he shares the strategy behind curating live entertainment to make women feel comfortable at Bar Ellis in downtown Noblesville. During the weekly top five segment, the group debates the best songs with confusing titles, finalizing a list that features tracks by Queen, Kid Rock, the Gorillas, Stone Temple Pilots and Led Zeppelin.  Listeners can also test their music knowledge with a 1979 Electric Light Orchestra trivia question about the song "Don't Bring Me Down," brought to you by Rudy's Recycle Shop in Cicero.
