Episode 190, Phil Kilmer

What is up, everyone?!We're back -- after a small pause -- with another episode featuring a guest, and I'm thrilled to share, regardless of how LinkedIn-y that sounds -- that I was lucky enough to see my interview with Phil Kilmer to the other side.Meaning, it took a year and-a-half to make it happen. Which is fun!In that vein, I'll pause for two seconds to say thank you to anyone that's ever replied to my outreach, and everyone that has helped me to see an episode come to finished-product state by committing, showing up, and being awesome. I'm really excited to see that the 200 mark is right around the corner, and -- as of this moment -- I have a small dose of confidence in me that we'll get there.Where it goes from there is anybody's guess.Anyway...Phil Kilmer is a son, a boyfriend, a father, a presence in academia, a physical therapist, a doctorate candidate, and I'm -- in botching this list -- not even doing his whole Curriculum Vitae justice.Regardless, we talked about Frost on the Flint Band, the Lovegrass Music Festival, being a musician, a diehard soccer fan, and...well, we also had a decent look at a few of Phil's favorite albums, which were these:Live at the Old Quarter (1977), Townes Van ZandtJohn Prine's Bruised Orange (1978)Uprising (1980), Bob MarleySplit Lip Rayfield's Never Make It Home (2001)Renewal (2021), Billy StringsChatting with Phil was super-fantastic, and I'd be remiss to not encourage you to give both the Walnut Valley Festival as well as the Lovegrass Music Festival consideration when planning your next bit of PTO. Thank you, Phil, and nutrition and health to you all.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any of the audio clips contained within this episode, or within any of these episodes, for that matter.
