Inspired by the wonderful Brian Colburn from the My Weekly Mixtape podcast, I decided to take a hard left turn this week, as I prepare to fly down to Gainesville, and do something a little different! We’re going to take listener suggestions for artists to use as a starting point from which we’ll attempt to link our way back to Tom Petty within six degrees of separation! This was a lot of fun and I’m definitely going to do it again!

A last very special thanks to Paul Zollo. Without his book, “Conversations with Tom Petty”, this podcast wouldn’t be nearly as much fun to research. And further thanks to Warren Zanes for his outstanding book “Petty, the Biography”.
