Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 157 – Ramen Cake and Condition 1

It’s just weird, and we think you’ll enjoy the conversation. So, pull up a slice of Ramen Apple Pie, sit back, relax, and have fun with this eclectic episode of the Trampled…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – Episode 76 – Shining Like a National Guitar
Shining Like a National Guitar – Episode 76 The imagery that lyrics invoke in songs can be very powerful. They can take us back in time to the place we first heard them. They’re like an anchor or placeholder in a way, if you think about it. Lyrics set to music can also launch us into new worlds altogether.
