Monty joins the pod and we talk about his experience playing music, going to folk conventions, his “no-case” showcase at NERFA, playing, and Monty’s songs. Montgomery Delaney is an unusual performer in the folk world. Later in the show the conversation takes a turn, as we talk about how Monty was banned from Cafe Lena one time because of his political beliefs. We discuss what it means to speak your truth when your audience doesn’t agree with you. We talk about no agreeing and yet continuing to talk. This episode gets a little hairy as we talk about the new situation facing the United States. Our opinions stray further and further as the episode goes on, and yet we remain friends at the end. I don’t know how this episode will hit you. Here it is anyway.
