  • "Let's See What Happens" with Steve Krojniewski

    "Let's See What Happens" with Steve Krojniewski
    Apr 13 2023
    Steve Krojniewski joins Karl and Rob in The Stew and addresses his recent health issues (and why his band Interstate Transit remains on hold).  Steve explains these problems and offers specific examples of how he discovered he had serious issues, the persistence required to find out the specific nature of the problems and to overcome them.  Steve, the drummer for Ali Baba's Tahini and many other acts, talks about why he has enjoyed collaborating with Karl over the years.  He also explains his affection for the universal nature of Karl's lyrics and offers many memories from their 25+ year relationship.  A conversation about the song "Dancing with The Rat" inspires Karl to demonstrate its evolution - later we hear how Steve chased down the award-winning Callisto Quartet to perform on "Last Night in America" and how it all played out.  "Krojo" recalls birthdays past including one that is marked in time by a picture of Brendan Bayliss on Karl's lap - and each respond to Jake Cinninger's suggestion that Karl is the "Syd Barrett of The South."  Steve takes us into the very first rehearsals and performances of what would become ABT, gives a strikingly candid assessment of a young Karl Englemann, explains some of the creative ways ABT helped "make ends meet" on tour and he reveals how Karl's band mates responded to Karl's decision to leave South Bend and move south all those years ago.    Karl and Krojo explain where the name Hopi Champa came from and bring forth various tidbits of info on how each ABT record was created.  They get specific on several songs including "Last Hurrah", "Resolution", and the title track of Bottom Feeders.  We also learn about other South Bend bands like Juniper Tree and Fielder Blue, and we get Krojo's thoughts on UFOs, haunted houses, and sports.  Finally, Krojo and Karl explain Dyngus Day and Karl makes Zapiekanka an open-faced sandwich and popular Polish street food in the 1970's based on a recipe that Steve sent him. Find the hosts on Twitter: Rob Turner: @RsTnerKarl Engelmann: @karljinglemannShewbird Productions: Shewbird Productions | FacebookKarl Engelmann - YouTubeEmail the show: stewonthispod@gmail.comThe Long Game by Karl Engelmann (songwhip.com)Rob's YouTube Page: vitaminrenergy Home | Epic Catering and Eatery (e-entrees.com)Support DATC Media Company on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany"We've Come So Far" (datcmediacompany.com)DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.comDATC Media on YouTube: DATC Media CompanyDATC Media Instagram: DATC Media Company DATC Media Facebook: Dropped Among This Crowd Media DATC Media Twitter: @DatcMediaDropped Among This Crowd Podcast: https://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.comDATC Podcast Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/DATC Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/DATC Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/amongthiscrowdThe Umphreys "WOW" Show: https://the-umphreys-wow-show-with-rob-turner-jimmy-knowledge.simplecast.com/Wall of "WOW": https://datcmediacompany.com/wall-of-%22wow%22-wednesdaysThe Umphrey's "WOW" show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/umWOWshowAli Baba's Tahini: Instagram: @alibabastahiniFacebook: Ali Baba's Tahini Ali Baba's Tahini - Topic - YouTubeInternet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback MachineAli Baba's Tahini | SpotifyStream Live Music and Concert Downloads from Ali Baba's Tahini (nugs.net)Where you can find this week's guest: True Balance Yoga (stevekrojo.com)Steve Krojo (@yogastevekrojo) • Instagram photos and videosSteve Krojo | FacebookSeason 2 Episode 5: https://stew-on-this.simplecast.com/episodes/the-wit-and-whimsical-wisdom-of-mike-whitneyHome | dyngusdayCallisto QuartetAli Baba's Tahini Themed Episodes of Dropped Among This Crowd Podcast:https://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-1https://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/conversation-with-jake-cinningerhttps://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/live-from-boondock-studios-conversation-with-jim-leephttps://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/conversation-with-ali-babas-tahini-bass-player-karl-engelmannhttps://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/conversation-with-ali-babas-tahini-drummer-steve-krojohttps://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/interview-with-ali-babas-tahini-keyboardist-justin-powell

  • The Wit and Whimsical Wisdom of Mike Whitney

    The Wit and Whimsical Wisdom of Mike Whitney
    Apr 6 2023
    In this fresh episode of "Stew on This", songwriter/Columnist/Raconteur Mike Whitney sits down with Karl and Rob and takes them on a journey through his unique world.  Mike plays several songs (starting with one inspired by Epic Catering's meatloaf) and tells of essentially growing up in three states, attending three high schools with silly names.   He speaks of his experience working in the same steel mill at which his father had worked, how he found his way to being a bill collector, his travels out west (where he saw Bobby Darin, Peggy Lee and others perform), where he was when Kennedy was shot and how all of this led to a life of music.  Whitney's columns are what first caught Karl's eye and Mike explains about how he began writing, he elaborates on some of the stories and "Whitneyisms" that are found inside his humorous and insightful essays.   Whitney waxes poetic on chasing Elvis, when Bill Haley was rude to him, getting fired for not knowing enough southern rock songs, turning down cow-tipping offers, and a particularly memorable experience after breaking down in Soperton, Georgia.  He was a regular performer at Atlanta's Dante's Down the Hatch and he shares some memories from there like the kazoomphony, when Burt Reynolds came in and he reveals why he prefers to perform in small rooms.     Karl cooks for Mike a Gilmer County, Georgia recipe he found in the Smokehouse Ham Book (from the James Beard culinary society) with cracklin' bread, Epic restaurant's famous smoked pickled jalapenos and international black-eyed peas.  Karl paired them with Pisgah Brewery's Turtleback Brown ale. Find the hosts on Twitter: Rob Turner: @RsTnerKarl Engelmann: @karljinglemannShewbird Productions: Shewbird Productions | FacebookKarl Engelmann - YouTubeEmail the show: stewonthispod@gmail.comThe Long Game by Karl Engelmann (songwhip.com)Rob's YouTube Page: vitaminrenergy Home | Epic Catering and Eatery (e-entrees.com)Support DATC Media Company on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany"We've Come So Far" (datcmediacompany.com)DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.comDATC Media on YouTube: DATC Media CompanyDATC Media Instagram: DATC Media Company DATC Media Facebook: Dropped Among This Crowd Media DATC Media Twitter: @DatcMediaDropped Among This Crowd Podcast: https://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.comDATC Podcast Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/DATC Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/DATC Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/amongthiscrowdThe Umphreys "WOW" Show: https://the-umphreys-wow-show-with-rob-turner-jimmy-knowledge.simplecast.com/Wall of "WOW": https://datcmediacompany.com/wall-of-%22wow%22-wednesdaysThe Umphrey's "WOW" show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/umWOWshowAli Baba's Tahini: Instagram: @alibabastahiniFacebook: Ali Baba's Tahini Season 2 Episode 4: https://stew-on-this.simplecast.com/episodes/the-life-and-career-behind-the-man-of-1000-voicesPisgah Brewing Company – We All Drink Downstream.™Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread & Scuppernong Wine: The Folklore and Art of Southern Appalachian Cooking: Dabney, Joseph: 9781402239137: Amazon.com: BooksA gift to "Stew on This" listeners - Get three months FREE of Amazon Music - Limited Time Offer Until 4/28: https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited/?tag=saraj08-20&ref_=dmm_acq_asc_inf_us_saraj08-20

  • The Life and Career Behind the Man of 1000 Voices

    The Life and Career Behind the Man of 1000 Voices
    Mar 16 2023
    Rob and Karl have a lively discussion with podcast host/voice artist/co-host of the Atlanta-based & internationally-enjoyed Von Haessler Doctrine, Tim Andrews.  Tim talks about how he first found his way to Atlanta, and then in turn into the ears of so many of its radio-loving citizens and some of the contractual ugliness that he has had to deal with along the way.  He explains what it's like to get fired from a terrestrial radio program, how a successful podcast morphed into one of the top-rated shows in the Atlanta radio market, explains the evolution of radio "comedy" and Rob highlights many of the aspects of Tim that make him a unique broadcaster.  Tim also talks about his voicings on Squidbillies, his culture podcast Radio Labyrinth, some of his favorite interviews for it and his PopCast WSB radio show/podcast, the dangers of consultants and uncreative people making creative decisions, he offers examples of bad morning radio and relates what's it's like to now be widely known beyond the southeast.  Tim also shares his love of bands like The Grateful Dead and Phish, and how he can sometimes feel like he's playing in a great jam band when the improv is clicking on Von Haessler Doctrine.  Karl serves an "e-dish" from Epic Catering in Tim's honor, and the hosts sip on Frey Organic Agriculturist red wine while they toss around conspiracy thoughts.  This episode also features what is thought to be Gilbert Andrews' music/food/conspiracy podcast debut.Find the hosts on Twitter: Rob Turner: @RsTnerKarl Engelmann: @karljinglemannShewbird Productions: Shewbird Productions | FacebookKarl Engelmann - YouTubeEmail the show: stewonthispod@gmail.comThe Long Game by Karl Engelmann (songwhip.com)Rob's YouTube Page: vitaminrenergy Home | Epic Catering and Eatery (e-entrees.com)Support DATC Media Company on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany"We've Come So Far" (datcmediacompany.com)DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.comDATC Media on YouTube: DATC Media CompanyDATC Media Instagram: DATC Media Company DATC Media Facebook: Dropped Among This Crowd Media DATC Media Twitter: @DatcMediaDropped Among This Crowd Podcast: https://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.comDATC Podcast Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/DATC Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/DATC Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/amongthiscrowdThe Umphreys "WOW" Show: https://the-umphreys-wow-show-with-rob-turner-jimmy-knowledge.simplecast.com/Wall of "WOW": https://datcmediacompany.com/wall-of-%22wow%22-wednesdaysThe Umphrey's "WOW" show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/umWOWshowAli Baba's Tahini: Instagram: @alibabastahiniFacebook: Ali Baba's Tahini Season 2 Episode 3: https://stew-on-this.simplecast.com/episodes/the-unique-world-of-brett-padgettFrey Vineyards (freywine.com)Where you can find this week's guest online: Tim Andrews (@TimAndrewsHere) / TwitterRadio Labyrinth (@Radio_Labyrinth) / TwitterRadio Labyrinth Podcast - YouTubeTim Andrews (@timstagramhere) • Instagram photos and videosTim Andrews | StoreFrontier™Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/100032092436758/posts/pfbid02g4njY3LEwD7eg41bNNmdLceVHNmPdWsa71EgBz9D2JppePcbz9VUhs1YiVStZ4Ubl/?mibextid=cr9u03
