Originally from Philadelpia, he hitch-hiked to the west coast back in the late 1980s, spent many years performing and become a local favorite, then relocated to North Carolina. <\/p>\n<p>Chuck&#8217;s an award-winning, master storyteller with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chuckbrodsky.com\/music_js.html\" target=\"_blank\">eleven releases<\/a> under his belt. Two records, in particular (&#8220;Baseball Ballads&#8221; and &#8220;Baseball Ballads 2&#8221;) showcase some great tales inspired by obscure stories from America&#8217;s favorite pastime. (Chuck has eighteen songs in the archives of the Baseball Hall of Fame.)<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MmiZq7JT66U\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>I had the good fortunate to open for Chuck twice, two years in a row, a few years back. For this chat, we met one Sunday morning after his live set on <a href=\"kpig.com\" target=\"_blank\">KPIG radio<\/a>. We  talked about his first trip to the bay area, his songwriting style, and of course, baseball. This interview first appeared back in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/podcast\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221;<\/a> #53 in 2009. Since we&#8217;re being graced by two Chuck shows very soon, I figured it was a good time to bring it out and revisit this conversation with a pretty amazing artist. <\/p>\n<p>Chuck makes it out here once a year, and in January &#8211; it&#8217;ll come fast, trust me &#8211; you have TWO chances to see him live.  Chuck plays the  <a href=\"http:\/\/corralitoscultural.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Corralitos Cultural Center<\/a> (near Watsonville\/Santa Cruz) on Friday, January 30th, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodshed.org\/\">Woodshed Series<\/a> in San Jose CA on Saturday, January 30th. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D216646993\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/subscribe-with-itunes.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fsongs-stories-140-chuck-brodsky-flashback%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to listen to the interview with\u00a0Chuck Brodsky\u00a0(time = 24:43) We&#8217;re looking forward by looking backward in this episode [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-podcast","category-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5778"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5787,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5778\/revisions\/5787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
