Chuck Girard, one of the architects of Jesus Music and founder of
the band Love Song, recently passed away at the age of 81 after a
battle with cancer. On this special episode of the podcast, we
visit with fellow Jesus Music veteran, Alex MacDougall, who
recently survived a very close call with esophageal cancer, and
our own Bruce Brown, who is in the midst of chemo as he edits
this very episode. We also hear from Terry Scott Taylor via a
special clip from the upcoming documentary "Us Kids" about the
role Chuck and Love Song played in his own musical story.
Might there be some wisdom in the ancient Christian practice of
"memento mori" in times such as these? Did Chuck Girard leave us
a song for this very moment fifty years ago?

The public may best know Phil Madeira as an ace-in-the-hole
sideman for high-profile Americana artists like Emmylou Harris,
while Nashville insiders know him as a songwriter's writer and a
go-to studio musician as well. While his career goes back well
over 50 years, over the last decade or so, Madeira has released a
series of superb, highly-focused solo albums and creative
collaborations that have focused on various aspects of his
musical, lyrical, and overall artistic skillsets. On his latest
project, Falcon, (releasing July 18), Madeira combines all of
these elements seamlessly. It presents as a sort of "Best Of Phil
Madeira" project, that happens to be comprised of all new
tunes.
On this episode we catch up with Madeira to hear about Falcon in
detail, and how it fits into his larger body of work. We will
also peek behind the curtain a bit, into the deeper personal work
this music reflects in the life and heart of the artist.
For more info visit the full show notes page at
TrueTunes.com/Falcon and to learn more about Phil Madeira find
