DISCLAIMER: This episode contains numerous occasions of such strong wording and expressions as "wax my newt," and "Peter plug." Proceed with caution!

This is the big (and we mean big) one!

Alan and Al swing back into action, with an exclusive new interview with versatile musician John Jorgenson! John played with Mike on many 90s tours (including the wonderful "Live at the Britt" stop), and has many tales of his involvement in music, the wonderful instruments he's played (many on a few Papa Nez solo efforts), and his relationship (and insights into) Mike! You don't wanna miss John recount Mike's first meeting with the Jimi Hendrix experience!
