For Goodness' Sake

In this episode we start the show by reading a 1960's "Frontier Times" story, talk about the upside down guitar playing of Elizabeth Cotten, discuss the French Revolution and Natural Deism, reconsider our understanding of history, and explore the potential morality of conquering godless nations in light of cultural decline.

In this episode of For Goodness Sake we have on Hunter “The Chief” Walls, a guitar player whos played in bands such as My Children My Bride, As Cities Burn, and Better Off. I met him nearly a decade ago when I lived in Nashville and was pleased to find out he was traveling through on his honeymoon and snagged him for a quick catch up.

In this episode, the guys bring back the "Show and Tell" segment. Chad shares his vintage Wild West magazines, one of which was printed in 1928, and discusses how things used to be better. Then, they explore the pros and cons of embarking on an endeavor after getting a proper education or just starting and learning as you go. They mention musicians Victor Wooten and Jack White as examples of a more natural path of learning through curiosity and application. Lastly, they discuss the rich culture we've lost living in the digital age. -------------------- Get 10% off all (http://chadbarela.com) goods when you use the code “FGS10” Get your Saint Poncho candle and burn it while you watch the show - https://chadbarela.com/st-poncho Leave us a voice message or text at 505-600-2399 Connect with us: Chad - https://www.instagram.com/chadbarela/ Chorus - https://www.instagram.com/choruspadilla/
