I know, we had Llewellynsanity, so this is technically Jim’s two-point (2.0/2.1/2.2/etc.) experience in the luxurious Driven2Drink studios and makeshift gastropub (Jen’s the chef, Greg’s the mixologist, and it’s a righteous pairing). However, when one transcends being a mere guest, which Jim has done and likely had done during his actual one-point series, that guest gets inextricably melded with me and thus the podcast name must reflect the growth. In this case: LlewDellyn.
Notably, you’re actually going to listening to the second thirty or so minutes of our time together. Why? Because I was in a bad, bad place for the first recording. For the first and hopefully only time in the history of this podcast, I entered the recording maximally energized, opinionated, loud, and drunk. Like, just jumped in at nearly wasted. It wasn’t pretty. Now, I’ve cut out bits and pieces of that recording and will be sharing them with yinz in the upcoming weeks. Jim had the uncanny and unwitting ability to render me in an almost catatonic, absolutely incapacitated, silent laugh. You’ll get to experience a few of those.
But for today, you get to hear Jim attempting to relate a story about Prince playing, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” with a star-studded band at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
You should actually watch it. If you’ve never, do yourself a favor.
Why do I qualify Jim’s action with the word, “attempting,” you might ask?
Because your humble host did everything he (…that’s me…) could to derail the train. The whole thing ends up being quite funny. Almost everything I wanted out of the first half hour but was unable to manage or control given my state of being and inebriation.
So here you are, we present to you, “A Lovely Day (LlewDellyn 1.0).”
And yes, you’ll hear the great Bill Withers at the end.
Have a lovely day.
