Ep. #669: Dallas Good Remembered

Remembering my friend, the Sadies‘ Dallas Good who passed away suddenly on February 17, 2022. Amidst the shock, I reflect upon my long relationship with Dallas’ music and how he was genuinely the centre of our musical universe, connecting people from all over whether they realized it or not. I’ll love you forever, Dallas.
