SlapperCast Episode 186: The Woodshed

About this Episode

Episode 186 was filmed in the van last Friday right after we left No Label Brewing in search of some fast food. We talk about our great experience playing at No Label, and during the song killing segment we discuss the merits and faults of Mötley Crüe and Guns N' Roses. Songs resurrections this week from Benny Mardones and Richie Barrett.

ALSO: a few words for our dear old friend and fellow lifer musician Davee Bryan, whom we recently learned is terminally ill with cancer. Patrick met Davee when Patrick was bartending in Houston during the early 1990s, and Davee later essentially served as Patrick's mentor when Patrick first started performing live. Years later, after being introduced by Patrick, Davee and Chad did an acoustic duo for several months before Blaggards got started. Chad also contributed backing vocals to Davee's 2004 album Is Anyone Driving This Bus? produced by Jack Saunders. Davee later moved to Lake Worth, Florida, where he has been writing and performing ever since.

This episode concludes with a clip of Davee performing his excellent original song "The Only One" at the Foundry in Athens, GA, September 2015, filmed by his daughter Missy (original video).
