The Mercy Brothers Talking

What this episode covers

Simple honesty here, this conversation, on June 22, happened because our rehearsal ended due to my MS relapse messing with my hands. Well, we got a great rambling conversation; that has a cool arc to it. This has not been edited. (I’m referring to how you can read an interview in say, The New York Times Magazine, and it will edited for brevity.) You can hear Barrence looking up Sly Stone’s “Fresh” on his phone. We were sitting in a public space, hence the background noise; and Barrence saying hi to someone. Not to say this is on a par with the amazing work John and Alan Lomax did, but think of this as a field recording. And, there will be plenty more to come. Barrence and I can talk for hours upon hours. It’s the affliction for the love of music we both share – hence The Mercy Brothers. Enjoy!
