Episode

Lauren Textor was my guest for Episode No. 127, and my mind is still reeling from everything that she has accomplished at such a young age.
I have no real direct reason to be as proud of her as I am, but I am, nonetheless. And I truly feel that she is just getting started.
There're a number of ways in which one could keep tabs on this daughter, sibling, writer, producer, girlfriend, lover of Ireland, bandmate/cat mom. And those'er these: Muck Rack, Instagram, etc.
Lauren and I talked about a good many things, and of course a part of all that were a few of her favorite albums. Those were these:
Al Stewart's Year of the Cat (1976)
Time (1981) Electric Light Orchestra
Tom Petty's Wildflowers (1994)
In the Magic Hour (2016), Aoife O'Donovan
Lorde's Solar Power (2021)
Meeting Lauren and having the opportunity to sit down and visit with her was an experience I won't soon forget. Many thanks to her for her time and positive energy. Oh, and anyone that considers Tom Petty to be their ghost dad his a-okay in my book.
And thank you to all of you that support the podcast.
Cheers.
