Together Again is available January 9, 2026 wherever you get your music and features a slew of delicious tunes and fantastic stories that will make you laugh and some that may even make you shed a tear. Have no fear though, our conversation is nothing but great times, good laughs, and amazing memories from these two friends who have helped shaped the fabric of great music for many decades. We touch on some familiar friends including Pete Seeger and get the scoop on some of the backstories of a few of the tracks on the latest album. It's always a delight talking to these two and to hear their music.

If you leave with nothing else, you will realize the importance of having a standing date with a good friend and collaborator that nothing can interrupt at least one day per week is the true key to happiness and success!
