Fireside Chats, Episode 4: Living A Musician's Life
Added 2017-09-26 16:00:02 +0000 UTCThis week's super-long episode of Fireside Chats stars my best friend, Ramon Narvaez. We track the winding story of his life as a musician, from his origins in middle school to today, playing bass and guitar with the likes of Bad Rabbits and Parson James. And towards the end? Well, things get a little big philosophical, too.

Music is the best, man. Pursue it!

2017-09-30 21:11:40 +0000 UTCI'm glad that the old shows are trucking along without me. I think a lot of people assume I wish KF ill or something; I don't. That kind of thing just isn't for me anymore. It brought me no joy and started to feel like a chore, and that, combined with a lot of other interpersonal things, ultimately conspired in me quitting. I think both can, will, and should exist, and I'm glad you're getting enjoyment out of both brands, even if you feel like something isn't quite right.

2017-09-30 21:09:18 +0000 UTCAs someone who played guitar back in high school in a band, I really enjoyed this conversation. It’s making me want to play more, and maybe take lessons again. Music is awesome

2017-09-29 05:17:53 +0000 UTCHey Colin, today I finally decided to catch up on fireside chats and am currently watching gog 200 and i just wanna let you know what a strange day it's been. Fire side chats has not only been motivating, but thought provoking. Gog 200 was nostalgic and a drunken hilarious mess. It's interesting to see/hear the things I saw today. Gog is missing your spark and Colin's Last Stand is this new and awesome forward thinking thing. Idk what I'm getting at, but I guess I just wanna say I'm proud of the progress you've made and the divide was very beneficial for you however as a fan of both it feels odd seeing something that belongs together apart, but proud of you nonetheless.

2017-09-28 01:40:32 +0000 UTCThank you both for making this episode. I am 26 years old and feel as if I'm too old to start a band. Part of this comes from the fact that I am Active Duty military in a very mentally-tasking job but the other comes from fear of failure. This episode has allowed me to accurately identify that latter part, so I can reassess how I can pursue my dreams through college (the military pays for it!) and just raw grit. I look forward to the next episode with Ramon for more inspiration. Thanks again!

2017-09-27 22:08:29 +0000 UTCWhat a wonderful conversation. So nice to hear you both - together - talking about so many things. Ramon, Don't be a bit concerned with having to get something done by a certain age/point in time in order to succeed. It's nonsense. I'm hear to tell you that it will all work out. A very wise person once told me (many years ago) that good things happen when a person thinks with their head but LISTENS to their heart. It's never led me down the wrong path. And now, I pass this on to you (both). ❤️❤️ Would be wonderful to see you- it's been way too long. And bud, nicely done. Thank you for sharing stories of your love of music, of the paths it's led you down and of your wonderful friendship with my son. I love you both. 😘😘
