The Fast Heart Mart Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Of all the bad things that have affected me personally during this pandemic, my bass player Tom Warner moving away to Wisconsin is one of the saddest. Having a good, reliable bass player that is also a good friend is worth gold to me. So I wrote a song called "My Bass Player Packed Up and Left" about my bass player Tom Warner. We play it and a few others on this episode,...

Send us Fan Mail Well, a lot has happened in the world since I took a break 3 weeks ago. A black man named George Floyd was brutally murdered by a white cop in Minneapolis. Racism is a persistent problem in the world and so is police brutality. I have respect for all the peaceful protesters protesting racism and police brutality. The world was out of balance before this global pandemic struck in M...

Send us Fan Mail I’m in a down sort of mood this week. Don't worry! I'm fine! I’m just tired and so I'm going to take a few weeks off. It seems like all this is coming to an end now. But is it really? I’m not sure I want to return to the “real world”. I'm gonna take some time off for organizing my apartment and gardening. I need a staycation. On this episode I played some older...

Send us Fan Mail My parents were in town so I figured I'd get them in on the podcast. My parents have been huge fans of my musical journey for 21 years now. They were also alive during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, so I figured I'd get their perspective on this Coronavirus pandemic that we are currently experiencing. Just kidding! My parents weren't alive in 1918 BUT they are bi...

Send us Fan Mail Jeremy "The Typewriter Troubadour" Brownlowe is a friend and fellow busker. He also plays drums with me when my usual drummer can't make it. We played a Leonard Cohen song called "Everybody Knows" which the perfect anthem to this pandemic. Then we played a Fast Heart Mart song called "Reinvent". In between songs we discus how we first met and fin...

Watch the unaltered documentary at Rob Nakai's channel here: https://youtu.be/xhuWPXMLn9E Warning: Listening to this episode in audio format without video may not be very entertaining, but give it a listen...

Send us Fan Mail Well, bear with me folks while I figure what the heck I'm trying to do here. Episode 3 is 50 minutes long because I felt the need to yammer on about what I believe is going on in the world today. I don't know? Is anyone even capable of watching this whole thing? I hope someone enjoys this episode. I definitely had fun making it.... WARNING: at 42:12 I did drop one F-bomb...

Send us Fan Mail Well, episode 1 was fraught with so many technical dificulties that I was already burnt out when I shot episode 2 here. I was in a foul mood, with thoughts that all this work is a waste of time, so I wanted to play something angsty. Therefore, I played "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. Then I played an angsty song I've been writing over the past few months c...

Send us Fan Mail It's been a long week here at the FHM headquarters in San Diego CA. All my gigs canceled on me until further notice, so I have no income right now, except for banjo students online and video editing. Let me know if you need either of those services during this time. I've spent half of the first week of the pandemic in a stupor, wondering if this is REALLY happening... It...
