0:00.0	A fish spelled FISH is an aquatic gill-bearing vertebrate with fins that lives in rivers, lakes, and oceans around the world.
0:09.0	Fish, spelled pH-I-S-H, is a jam band from Vermont that generally stays on dry land, the better to sell-out stadiums. Welcome to Strong Songs, a Podcast About Music. I'm your host Kirk Hamilton and I'm so glad you

0:38.0	Strong songs is listener supported, which means that thanks to all of you, I can make this show
