It's no surprise that I am drawn to fellow lifers, and the great Bob Bellerue certainly fits that bill. This was the first time the two of us actually sat down and talked, but having occupied similar and adjacent worlds for the better part of two decades, it was a quick connection. In addition to continuing the great Ende Tymes festival, Bellerue's solo music practice has been expanding and evolving along with his collaborative work. We get into two recent projects - an album with Francisco Meirino, and his new duo, Eternities, with Katie Porter. Lifers for life! Bob Bellerue & Francisco Meirino "Bain d'Arsenic" https://flagdayrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/bain-darsenic Eternities "Realness" https://harmonicoozerecords.bandcamp.com/album/realness The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length. Brad Rose is the the principal writer and editor-in-chief of Foxy Digitalis, an online music magazine and has run various DIY record labels for the last 30 years.
