I've written near 800 tunes in my 52 years of fiddling and have recorded 71 albums to date. Each tune has a story and I'm here to tell you those stories. When covid-19 hit, our performing life came to a crashing halt but when I was out performing, my shows were filled with stories of my tunes. So now we look for a new way to promote the music and old Cal is doing a podcast.
