Funny how things sometimes coincide. A dear longtime friend and musician, Nancy Barnes, discovered recently that an album she did as part of the band Sands of Time in the 1970s has developed a cult following, especially in Europe. As a result, she was contacted by a podcast host named Anssi in Finland to do an episode of his “Cosmic Turtle” podcast. Nancy did the interview, which included songs from the album and reminiscences about how it came together. The show came out wonderfully, and I would recommend it even if you don’t know Nancy and her music. It can be found on both the Cosmic Turtle website and Soundcloud.
Not long after I heard from Nancy about this project, I got a call from a former student from back in the 80s, Garon Tornell. Garon now has a podcast called “Let’s Hear It” in which he interviews his guests about their life stories. Garon and I got together near the first part of June 2022, and here’s what resulted.
