Sawdust Boogie

It's been a while, boys & girls, but we're back on the mic! We're jumping back in with an update about all things Sawdust Boogie - a music gear buy that went a little sideways, my adorable baby boy, and the progress we've made on The Bull, before seguing into a conversation I had last year with my buddy Zach Abbott about all things trees. I won't spoil the title - y'all will just have to listen.

Hey folks, welcome back to Sawdust Boogie! It's been a minute since I opened the door to Sawdust Studios and hopped on the mic, but hey, y'all know real life happens. In this inaugural episode of 2023, I share some thoughts recorded back in the fall of 2022. I talk about my new baby boy, Dallas, and the ongoing adventures with the Ford F-250.

We've got barking dogs, the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of owning a Chevy Luv, the great and glorious arrival of The Bull, and a few other things thrown in for good measure on this second solo outing.

In this episode, Bear tries out a solo outing that starts at vintage guitars, winds its way on through connecting with customers via the 3-Rings Rule, and finishes up with old timber and some misadventures with a new boat.

BBQ aficionado, overland trekking enthusiast, and licensed counselor Matt Spicer swings by Sawdust Studios and spills some secrets about cooking, what he keeps in his truck when heading into the wilderness, and some practical tips to make sense of things when you're having a rough time navigating life and relationships. Matt's easy to talk to, and a whole lot of fun to hang with, so this one was a blast!

Axes, farm work, Grandpa's tools, old engines, and Bear's ever-present questions for Uncle Phil. (Disclaimer: don't kill rattlesnakes, y'all. Just let 'em pass.)

Phillip Ira Ellis is a man of many talents, hobbies, skills, and interests. He's been more than generous with them, and also with his time, and has taught me many a thing I cherish and appreciate. We talk survival techniques, BBQ, steaks, knives, cars and engines, growing up on a farm, and the story of how Bear and The Luv found each other.

Charlie White stops by to chat about music, working with his hands, & the nitty-gritty of bringing instruments back to life.

Bear talks about the things and people that have shaped him into the man he is today, the stuff he loves, what he wants to accomplish, and how he feels about recording a podcast next to a creek by a fire in 27-degree weather.

We make stuff, we solve problems, we learn, and we help you do the same. Facebook.com/sawdustboogie instagram.com/sawdustboogie
