I just finished up a month long tour of Europe, and the final night was in Eastbourne, England, somewhere on the coast.

And I stayed in a pub. They had some rooms upstairs that they rented

out to people, and I stayed in one of those. But I'm told that this pub was the second oldest

in all of England. And it was built in 1180 AD. Had the original oak beams, two huge

fireplaces. There was a cemetery outside my window, it's just a beautiful place and

went downstairs into the cellar, and they told me that they used to keep dead bodies down there.

There was kind of catacomb type situation, and there was a secret passageway that led out of that cellar

underneath the cemetery over to the church next door and they would keep

dead bodies in the cellar and wait for them to bury them they would take him across the passageway

to the church and then bury them and of course the place is supposedly haunted and how i feel about

that though but i'm really happy to be back home and I sometimes say that touring is a full-time job.

It doesn't always pay that much, but sometimes it has a really nice benefit package. Hi, friends, this is Odis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.

I'm sitting here in my living room in East Nashville, Tennessee, and it feels great to be back home.

This is a personal journal. This is a bit of an experiment. And I like to say right up front that I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing,

but I decided to do it anyway. And this show was founded with the idea that there are only

two people in art that matter. There's the creative individual and the person experiencing it,

and everything else is an artificial filter. And this is a way for me to share things with you guys

without any filters whatsoever.

My guess this week is Kevin Gordon.

Kevin is a singer-songwriter, guitar player.

He's also an art collector, an art dealer, and he lives right here in East Nashville, Tennessee.
