Robin walks a block and a half from his house to join Howie and Scully in the King Room for a chat about our beloved neighborhood. He tells how he came to New Orleans looking for inspiration many years ago and how he continues to find it; he explains what its like to play multiple instruments in several different bands including washboard with Tuba Skinny (BJ's regulars), drums with James McClaskey (BJ's every Sunday), and violin and mandolin with his own Italian band The Gloworm Trio (every Wednesday at Vaughan's). He shares the grueling but invigorating experience of playing the Jazz Fest and gigging every night when its done. Scully contracts Robin -- also a blacksmith -- to forge some one of kind hooks to go under the bar and on the wall so he doesn't have to keep "hanging his coat on a nail." Howie reveals her love of bells!!!

We listen to three of his own compositions recorded by Tuba Skinny.

The Boudin Man joins Howie and Scully in the King Room to discuss DJ'ing on WWOZ, restarting his father's old record label, and the importance of giving Ninth Ward musicians their due. He tell us how as a child he spent many nights recording bands with father for Houma Records. (His mother send the kids to keep pops from being a "rascal." ) He shares how he fell in love with radio at a young age and how it taught him that money ain't everything. He tells of his love and admiration for legendary WWOZ DJ Billy Dell and his ongoing archival project of radio show "Records from the Crypt." (We hear a little from Billy himself.) He says BJ's Lounge is his favorite music venue because "they take care of the musicians." Thanks dude!

AJ provides us with three great 1960's tracks from the Houma Records reissue compilation which you can find at Euclid Records New Orleans or Good Earth Records in Bay St. Louis.

A tuxedoed "Mayor" Starkman joins Howie and Scully in the King Room for a discussion about the campaign. Yes It is real; he will be on the ballot! He shares several of his policy proposals including elimination of liability for all corporations, encouragement of bribery, expansion of bureaucracy (it creates jobs!), and a promise that on day one he will send all Louisiana bound hurricanes to Florida. He celebrates current Mayor Cantrell saying, "She flew so I could run!" Find out more on Instagram @starkmanformayor

Later we are joined by musician and influencer Joshua Starkman who explains how and why he made New Orleans home, how he deals with the ups and downs of an online life, whether "Have a Great Day" is sarcastic or sincere, and why its important that the artist persona be multi-dimensional.

James McClaskey and the Rhythm Band provide three hot live tracks!!!
