Episode #25 is up… sort of- This week Matt sits down with nobody. It’s been a busy, busy couple of weeks & while we’ve been able to set up some future episodes we didn’t get a chance to record a June 1st episode.
But in December of last year we made a commitment to post each and every week so, here goes literally nothing- it’s an all Matt-on-Matt podcast this week.
Sit back and either enjoy, ignore, or delete. Either way, here is our 25th episode.
Don’t miss the close out where Matt sits back & plays a little tune of his own on his trusty 75 cent thrift store guitar.
Look forward to a REAL episode that will be up next week- come out and enjoy the recording session, Sunday June 7th, 1 pm at The Big Easy Bar in Prescott, AZ with The Chris Berry & Don Whitcher Electric Duo.

Episode #23 is up- This week Matt sits down with his Mommy, Mary Santos, in an impromptu recording session that also includes a few words from 5 yr old Anthony.
