PanicStream user Col. Braddock asked for a request that I will not be playing, at least not this week. It occurred to me that his suggestion would make much better fodder for a future themed cast.... but there were some songs from the same show featuring the same guest that would be worth a listen. As I revisited the famous Jorma performance from 2000 I also ran across a relatively recent download of Vic Chesnutt and became inspired. Guests and covers of songs by friends.
So away I went, finding a killer FM broadcast that I was not acquainted with featuring some priceless interview tom-foolery by the band. Delving into shows from 1994 I was reminded of one of my favorite Chilly Water performances featuring a 15 year old Derek Trucks on guitar.
A very pleasant surprise awaited me when the Everyday Companion pointed me to a benefit show featuring Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Randall Bramblett and Artimus Pyle of Lynyrd Synyrd. The interplay between Houser and Bramblett during Porch Song is nothing short of brilliant.
Anyhow, I am rambling - ENJOY - this is one of those 'casts that features something for everybody so turn it up loud.
And remember; "I'm John Herman, and I play keyboards."

Been lovin' the panicasts for over a year now, they just get better and better!...Thanks for the great tunes, your collection is incredible...blows me away...Thank God for Widespread Panic...
Ted,
Thanks for this webcast. It's way better than what was originally requested! I had a great time listening to it.
Lest we not forget that Merl was up there with Jorma. Great run, One of my favorites!
Nice podcaast, Ted. That Chilly fucking rips. Are you sure the Vic Chesnutt show is from 1992? That seems a little early since Nine High a Pallet didn't come out 'til '95. Just curious.
You are correct - TYPO!
That was 1997 - I will correct on the Blog.
Thanks lgtsotrsdholcomb!
