Episode 7 / Memorable Shows

Rollie Agado March 20, 2014

Recorded another episode of Late Night Conversations this evening and had a special guest on the show, my former roommate and one of my dearest friends - J. Celestino

Jaime and I go way fucking back, in that we went to High School together, we went to College together, we lived together in some capacity for nearly a decade and I was the best man at his wedding.   He's practically a brother to me and I'm so stoked to have him on the show... 

The theme for the show is - "Memorable Concerts" -  songs by artists we caught live and we shared little stories about what made those songs so memorable.
