    DQYDJ: Bonus Chat - Comedian Al Ducharme

    I'll be back with more conversations with local cover band musicians real soon! Until then I'm going to sneak in an unrelated conversation here.  Although stand up comedy and live music are close cousins who share the same challenges and goals... managing drunks and avoiding requests from said drunks. I recently took a cruise with my family on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas and caught a comedy show in between old fashioneds and all you can eat buffets.  Of course my need to talk to everyone I encounter in the entertainment industry got the best of me and I immediately tracked down one of the comedians, Al Ducharme, and pestered him for a few minutes of conversation.  So here's a few minutes (and then some) of conversation with Comedian Al Ducharme.  Enjoy!   Al Ducharme is an American stand-up comedian. Ducharme is known for voicing the character Anthony on Bill Burr's animated F Is for Family on Netflix and for America's Got Talent.  Ducharme was the original host of Mission: Organization on HGTV. www.alducharme.com www.facebook.com/al.dutcharmy.2 www.instagram.com/standupal

    DQYDJ: Episode 69 - Justin's Back

    I've been playing a bulk of my musical career with Justin Redden.  We started an acoustic duo about 13 or 14 years ago, formed a couple bands together... The Abe Froman Project, We're Going Streaking, Fringe Benefits and a few one-offs and, of course, our current project with Bill and Fitch... The Pub Kings.  We spend a lot of time talking about beer and breweries but hit on a few cover band topics like song selections and booking venues that fit the band's needs and wants.  It was a fun conversation with my good friend Justin... enjoy!
