SlapperCast Episode 386: "Keeping the Seat Warm"
Turbo is back on SlapperCast with an honest update from the long, strange road of knee-replacement recovery. He talks about physical therapy, sleepless nights, pain management, getting basic movement back, and the surreal feeling of watching most of his life come to a crashing halt while Blaggards carry on without him.
We also reflect on the drummers who have stepped in during his absence, the respect they’ve shown for Turbo’s arrangements, and the almost wordless musical language the three of us have developed over the years.
Plus, our friends in Lonefeather join us to preview Blagfeather 4 at Rehab Bar on the Bayou, with Justus Swantner pulling double duty behind the kit, and Jana from Whispering Grove Renaissance Faire shares what makes their growing Southeast Texas community such a welcoming place for first-time faire-goers.
