Dave Catching - Rancho de la Luna

This week we welcome a musician, mixer of fine cocktails, tasty cook, party co-ordinator, mezcal proprietor and humble host of Rancho de la Luna recording studio, Dave Catching. Dave introduces us to his first resident studio dog Chunk, a 3 1/2 year old Frenchie who has numerous fans among the countless musicians that pass through the revered recording studio in Joshua Tree, CA. We discuss the various dogs who've graced the hallowed grounds of the studio over its 33 year history, what a studio dog adds to the creative experience and what dangers lurk for dogs in the desert. Great talk with a well respected figure in the music world.

Dave's shout out goes to the Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter, a community-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit who are a small shelter with a big mission to be the only no-kill shelter in the Morongo Basin, and to end euthanasia in the region by giving dogs and cats the time, care, and support they need to heal, decompress, and find the right homes. To adopt, foster, volunteer or donate to their new shelter project visit joshuatreenokillshelter.org
