Description

This is the first of a 3-part discussion with singer-songwriter Richard Goldman, focusing on his 1997 album "Girls N' Cows," one of my personal favorites. In this episode, Richard talks about his early years as a songwriter and musician and how the album came to be. Topics are:

• Introduction
• Richard's suddenly-growing fanbase
• Richard talks about where he was when the album came out
• Richard's early years as a musician
• Richard's epic 1968 Gerde's Folk City story
• The cover art, title, and Randy Newman
• Richard's recording equipment evolution
• Richard's memoirs and songwriting as an outlet for his tall tales

Outro
