Phil Gemmell is With the Band

It's Meemaw Music Monday, and today I'm chatting with a creative who has taken his love of music turned it into a fantastic day job. In addition to teaching students of all ages, he plays with several bands, and even subs in when a band is without a member. I was pretty fascinated at being this musically nimble, and also loved the influence his parents and their musical loves and influences had on him. Hope you enjoy our conversation!

Mother's Day with Easton and Camden

What is that old adage in Hollywood, never work with kids and animals? Despite these words of wisdom, this week, I'm featuring my two grandsons, ages 4 and 2, as I try to find out more about their mom through their eyes, to include her joy of drinking wine and her potential comparison to Marvel villain Thanos. There is some definite silliness, but there are some gem moments as well. I hope you enjoy this little view into their world. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for listening!
