Episode Notes

Ted Nugent is a Rock 'n Roll force of nature!! The "Motor City Madman" has had one of the most remarkable careers in Rock n' Roll from the Amboy Dukes to his stellar solo career. He's sold over 40 million records. His guitar playing and stage act are legendary. From 1977-79 he was the highest grossing touring act in the world! This episode is a combination Rock n' Roll History Lesson, MasterClass and Concert, as Ted talks, yells, screams, plays guitar, sings and riffs on the greatness of Detroit Music! Plus a Songfest!

My featured song in this episode is the live version of “I’m So Glad”, my reimagined take on Cream’s hit song which my band, Project Grand Slam, recorded at the Nisville Jazz Festival in Serbia. Spotify link:
