Gramps Just Makes Shit Up!

Listening to the creative voices of Americana music

These are the voices of Americana singer-songwriters.

If you enjoy the funny and often heartfelt stories that Americana and Folk music provides, this podcast is for you. Gramps shares music and poems and prose that his friends have created, if they give him permission.

He also interviews interesting friends he's met along his long, circuitous journey through life. His musings include stories and trivia about history and science, all of which may or may not be true. Gramps may even share music and poems he's written after being smacked by the muse.
