Show Notes

NEZ GOES INSTRUMENTAL!  We kick off “All Instrumental April” with special guest Rebecca Davila discussing the wooly-hatted Monkee’s solo debut.  Was this intended to be a rebuke to all those hipsters sneering at the Monkees for not playing their instruments? Or simply a gigantic tax write-off?  How drunk do you have to get the Wrecking Crew before they finally start playing sloppy? What is the proper method for preparing a guitar to be smashed?  How much would it cost you to have an open bar for sixty of LA’s top session musicians? Is there a better way to spend $50,000? What are the words to “Don’t Cry Now”?  Have you test-driven the rugged, new 2019 Tapioca Tundra? Why didn’t anyone spend any money on the artwork? Hop aboard the Wichita Train on this week’s episode of Detours and Outliers.
