Our bodies’ DNA has a double-helix shape. The weaving of two strands, plus the elements they share in common create life. Barton Price helped me write and arrange the song “For Christ Sake.” We talk about the way our life’s trajectories over the last 20 years have moved in a helix-like complimentary way - making it a joy to have Barton as a member of my musical “faculty.” Barton, along with John Drury, who played drums on the session, and Brannon Hancock, who played bass on the session and produced it - all three of these guys- teach at the university level. The perfect team for a heady song that weaves sacred and secular themes in a helix as well. Barton Price teaches popular/rock music history at Purdue Fort Wayne as well as having a PhD in American Religious history, making him the perfect conversation partner for the episode on this song.
