It was great being able to bring music to a cause, and it also gave us the opportunity to play for new people. In this show, you&#8217;ll hear a <a href=\"http:\/\/ksco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">KSCO radio<\/a> interview with me and Peter Goodman of the band Cooper Street the morning before our show at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donquixotesmusic.info\/\" target=\"_blank\">Don Quixote&#8217;s Music Hall<\/a>. (Our bands did a co-bill to help Felton Library Friends). Paul Machlis talks about the effort to fund a new library.<\/p>\n<p>And you&#8217;ll also hear live versions of both of my car songs: A solo version of &#8220;Highway 17&#8221; from the KSCO interview, as well as a band version of &#8220;Good God Man How Big a Car Do You Need&#8221;, from the show at Don Quixote&#8217;s. (On KSCO, Peter played a solo version of &#8220;Zoe&#8217;s Ring&#8221;. That&#8217;s included in this episode, as well. )<\/p>\n<p>Click the red icon below to hear &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; #20 (time = 31:18, size = 35.8 mb)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/podcasts\/songs_and_stories20.mp3\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/podcast_red_01.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some links to go with the show.
