Dulcie Taylor & Tracy Morgan drop by the studio to play some music and talk with SLO TALK podcast hosts James Davis & Martha Torkington.  Dulcie Taylor learned a hard music lesson at an early age – don’t leave your ukulele unattended in a porch chair at the beach. Some clueless teenager can sit on it and smash it to bits. The demise of her ukulele was a tough moment for ten-year-old Dulcie but that Christmas her Mother bought her a guitar and Taylor’s lifelong love of singing and songwriting began. In hindsight, a grown-up Taylor sees the smashed ukulele as something of a blessing in disguise…after all, she has shared the stage with a long and impressive list of artists, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Asleep at the Wheel, Guy Clark, John Gorka, and Kathy Mattea. Dulcie Taylor Website: dulcietaylor.com Tracy Morgan loves and plays many genres of music. He is a skilled drummer, percussionist & teacher who finds rhythm wherever he can. Tracy is a drafter by trade, occasionally works as a backstage manager for concerts and festivals, and also enjoys serving as a substitute music host for KCBX public radio.  Tracy Morgan Instagram: Instagram.com/tracymorganmusic
