Harvey and Jeff play a little catchup on life, Panic, politics, and such, and then sit down with Scott Whiddon, a Professor of Writing at Transylvania University in Lexington, who also happens to be a damn fine musician. On December 27, Scott will release his new single, “The Ballad of Chris Bell,” about the Big Star founder and Memphis-born singer-songwriter who died way too young in 1978. The guys talk about Scott’s new record and talk a lot about Panic, using Scott’s first show, 12/30/95 in Spartanburg, SC as the jumping off point. While NYE 1995 deservedly gets a ton of praise, the night before is damn fine as well, featuring a lengthy sit-in by John Keane, and some darkness before the New Year’s joy of the next night in Macon, GA.</p>\n\n<p>We promise to see more of you in 2021, but until then, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p><br>\n<br></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://adoorforadesk.bandcamp.com\">Buy Scott's music and hear more here</a>\n<br>\n<br></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p><br>\n<br></p>\n\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http://www.panicstream.com/vault/widespread-panic-12301995-spartanburg-sc/\">30 December 1995 - Spartanburg, SC - Memorial Auditorium</a><br>\n<strong>West Virginia > You Got Yours > Stop-Go (w/John Keane), A of D, Wondering, Maggot Brain (w/John Keane) > Chilly Water</strong><br></p></blockquote>\n\n<p><br>\n<br>\n<br></p>","author_name":"Harvey Couch, Jeff Kollath"}
