Last Memorial Day Weekend, it was Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams, an eclectic rock band from Sleepy Hollow, NY.<\/p>\n<p>In this podcast, I talk with Joziah Longo, the band&#8217;s lead singer and songwriter. He explains the intention behind the band&#8217;s name (there is no Gandalf Murphy), how starting on the folk circuit gave them freedom with their lyrics, and their multiple-genre approach that allows them to play any style of music they wish. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.strawberrymusic.com\/photo_display_detail.asp?PhotoFolder=Spring_2007&amp;CurrentImage=Photos\/Spring_2007\/Gandalf_Murphy.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/joziah.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nHere are some links to go with the show.
