At My Kitchen Table
Welcome to At My Kitchen Table, a conversational, interview-y podcast where I have a good yap with a guest!
When I was growing up, the kitchen table was the conversation center in a lot of homes. At my grandparents' house, friends and family alike were welcomed with connection as much as with drinks and food. In my parents' house, that tradition continued as my siblings and I would post up and chat with my mom as she cooked or baked or tried to read a book (with much exasperation as we refused to shut up). I found cozy similarity at my friends' homes with their parents, too.
Keeping with tradition, I create a space for everyone who visits my table, where we get to share a little bit of our journeys together - roses, thorns, and stems.
At My Kitchen Table
Guest: Tim Gallagher
Tim Gallagher, AKA Dirk Magnum, pulls up a seat at my kitchen table today! Tim is the bass player and vocalist for Tongue 'N Cheek, an 80s band out of Wheeling, WV, that brings the decade of excess in full glory to every show. Tim was very cool to be one of my early recordings when this podcast was all wishes and hopes.
We talk about rock & metal, what it's like to be in a band for almost 20 years, music genre definitions & purity, and we somehow largely ignore disco when we mention 70s music. Have a seat as we chat about the longevity of 80s metal!
Intro riff by Dale Lytle (concert husband).
