Comedy
Some people are just born with the beat. In this episode, August shares stories from his early forays into playing music (well, his instrument was the spoons, but anyway...) and his unique take on techno music. Ryan shares his shower-singing habits and the diverse playlists that get him through his work days. Our esteemed guest is prolific local musician Jeff Rogers. He talks about how his relatives discovered his musical talent at a Christmas party when he was young, how he quickly got his start as a professional musician, and how he engages (or not) with the crowd at shows. He also tells us what his version of “making it” might look like and how lucky he feels to have a job where he gets free wine. This episode’s Word Cocktail examines the Greek roots of the word “muse” and how it attained its current meaning. Fact or False tests our guest’s knowledge of the humble beginnings of some of history’s most renowned musicians. From soulful tunes, to pondering the pitfalls of fame, to a unique approach to skin care, this episode of Cavalier Conversations is all about the music.
