It's a sad, sad day in the world of music today. Yesterday, legendary singer-songwriter Jon Dee Graham passed away. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and our music community here in Austin. Jon Dee will be missed by so many. His musical reach was huge and he also had such an amazing impact on so many people on a personal level. Myself included. I was a huge fan of his music and of him as a person and am so saddened by this loss. These conversations with Jon Dee are from episode 17 from October of 2011 and episode 1340 from December of 2023. They're such great conversations. Classic Jon Dee. There's a lot of truth and a lot of laughs in these conversations and that's what I'll remember most about hanging out with him; his spirit. Rest in peace Jon Dee. You'll be missed. Photo by Todd V. Wolfson

Welcome to another episode of How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today, we go back to episode 1428 on September 20, 2024 with Vicki Peterson (Bangles, Continental Drifters) and Sean Kelly discussing Sean's book, White Noise & Lightning: The Continental Drifters Story about legendary band Continental Drifters. We talk about the Drifter's operatic story, where they are now, the band's connections to Austin, and much more.  Below are my original notes from the show. Musician and author of White Noise & Lightning: The Continental Drifters Story, Sean Kelley and Continental Drifter and Guitar player of The Bangles, Vicki Peterson are my guests for episode 1428. White Noise & Lightning: The Continental Drifters Story follows ten disparate musicians from humble beginnings at a dive bar residency in Los Angeles through lineup changes, addiction, marriages, divorces, and industry letdowns. The Continental Drifters, composed of members of The Bangles, The Cowsills, The Dream Syndicate, The dB's, and more, found each because they'd been burned by the music industry and sought refuge in a freewheeling environment where they could experiment without constraint. When everything fell apart in New Orleans a decade later, they ended up with so much more. White Noise & Lightning: The Continental Drifters Story Drops next Friday, Sept. 27 along with We're All Drifters: A Tribute To The Continental Drifters, a 2 CD tribute album featuring Marshall Crenshaw, Kim Richey, Rosie Flores and more.
