Episode 60: New Years Special 2015
Welcome to our annual special variety show to cap off a stellar year. Every year we splice together sections from many episodes over the last year, detailing the challenges, accomplishments and wild stories from many of our guests. What an extraordinary year it has been for us on the Movin’ Air with pat lackenbauer podcast! We were honored to hear the compelling life stories of so many fascinating souls who courageously shared the intimate details of their lives.
We can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming up in 2016. But for now, Happy New Year to our AirHead HardCore, we truly value your support!
It’s that time of the year once again folks! Grab an Eggnog and come with us as we chat and celebrate never before heard Christmas moments from many of our past podcast guests. The Mouthpiece and The Drum Muffin would also like to wish everyone a very happy and safe Christmas to all our listeners, The AirHead HardCore! Keep your eyes on the sky for that big rolly guy!
This episode is chocked full! We chat with one of Canada’s best soundmen, Mr. Bob Shindle, and discuss how he basically fell into the role. Bob shares with us his approach to being a sound technician and how he sees music as colours when mixing. Come with us as we hear touring tales with Canadian stars, Larry Gowan (now the singer with Styx), Kim Mitchel (Max Webster), David Wilcox and engineering live sessions with popular Toronto radio station, Q107, but the road can have its pit falls too. Bob opens up about his past addictions with drinking and drugs, and how the distance from family can take a heavy toll on your personal life. Now the Head of Sound for the Canadian Opera Company and National Ballet, we discuss getting clean and the twilight of his career. And what a career it has been! A great chat with thoughtful and gentle man.
Leo’s story is that of a creative individual; playing bass in bands, touring live, studio work, and the occasional producing job. We hear about gigging with local legend, and universally recognized bluesman, Mel Brown, touring with “The Hawk”, Ronnie Hawkins, Ms. Black Velvet herself, Alannah Myles, and the day-to-day life of a musician. Talk turns to early struggles when Leo learned he had Lymphoma in his early twenties and how making it through cancer informed his life. A great chat with a cool cat.
Life chaser, knowledge hunter, Scott Corman tells us about growing up in a tight knit family where his love of community first began. We discuss combining his business and creative instincts by starting a vintage guitar business, playing in a band, booking acts and raves, and becoming a full time photographer. Scott’s curious mind has led him down different paths including yoga, traveling and meeting the love of his life. His positive nature is what shines through in this episode.
