When a planned interview with Bruce Thomas fell through for…reasons, we dusted ourselves off and decided to consult with bassist/songwriter/singer Dave Derby (Gramercy Arms, The Dambuilders), no slouch on the four string himself (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFcGRQROIt0).

Dave and I volley our favorite BT performances - too many to name! - and reflect on Elvis Costello’s genius/occasionally wonky pitch, Bruce’s musical auto-bio “Rough Notes” and the importance and difficulty of shaping your own legacy.

Gramercy Arms’ amazing new album “The Making of The Making Of” (https://gramercyarms1.bandcamp.com/album/the-making-of-the-making-of)
