Episode 28 - Happy Birthday Floyd Lanning! with guest co-host Shannon Pollard
Thursday Nov 30, 2017
Thursday Nov 30, 2017
It's November again and time to celebrate my grandfather Floyd Lanning's birthday, which was on the 9th!
It would be his 94th, to be exact, if he were still living.
I also had the honor and pleasure of sitting down with past special guest/ Eddy Arnold's grandson, Shannon Pollard, and having him as my guest co-host!
And he took part in the celebration by honoring his graparents' wedding day that happened this month as well on the 28th!
What a wonderful and special episode we got to share along with sharing the sentiment of honoring our amazing and talented grandparent's.
As I mentioned on Shannon's guest episode, Eddy Arnold was my grandfather's musical idol so this is pretty cool I got to share a couch with his own grandson.
Thank you so very much Shannon!

On this episode we celebrate her beautiful life and legacy by sharing covers we dedicate to her, some of her classic guitar pickin', and sharing some wonderful recordings of her and I that have never been posted before.
We hope you all enjoy.
We miss you and love you more than any words could ever express Bess.
