“It’s as if this podcast were made just for me!
I am a lifelong musician and music history buff. I’ve played in bands for decades, and know a lot about music, but there’s so much more that I don’t know. Speed Of Sound fills in a lot of blanks for me, in a completely enjoyable way. The episodes on hip-hop and disco were a revelation to me, especially because my knowledge of those genres was very spotty. I was of the generation that, by the time it was named “Disco Music”, had an intense hatred of it. Only recently, with a few dozen years of playing bass under my belt, have I come to realize what a killer song Disco Inferno by the Trammps really is. It was great to get filled in on who the Trammps actually were, and how they came up in their environment. And the story of the further connections to the Twist episodes and the legacy of Cameo-Parkway is spellbinding. I especially appreciate the snippets of the actual recordings under discussion. Thanks Stevie, keep up the great work!”
