Episode 169: John Knell

I may've mentioned this before, but -- more often than not -- when I open the front door to greet a guest, it's our first time meeting one another. And the vibes in that initial moment vary. Sometimes they're neutral. Occasionally they're curious. Every now and again, the good energy is palpable, and such was the case when I met John Knell on my porch.

John is a local artist, a son, a husband, a father, a fantastic conversationalist, and he joined me for Episode No. 169.

We chewed the fat for a good little bit a couple of weeks ago, covering family, memories, John's mixed-media art approach to pop culture and sports, and of course, a few of his favorite albums, which were these:

Abbey Road (1969), The Beatles

Van Halen's Fair Warning (1981)

Achtung Baby (1991), U2

Many thanks to John for the time and the solid chat. Please consider checking out his work at johnknell.com, and follow him on Instagram at @johnny_kc.

And many thanks to those of you that support the podcast.

Cheers.

Note: I was mistaken in claiming that the U2 song, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was the feedback/sustain king. What I meant was, "With or Without You."
