Welcome to this bonus episode of Sound Opinions. I'm Jim D. Regatus. My co-host is Greg Cott.

And if you want to be the first to hear our bonus podcast, become a Sound Opinions member on Patreon,

like Matt North of Chicago. Thanks for your support, Matt. Going back years to when we were on

XRT, Greg. You remember Matt? Absolutely. We recently featured our interview

with Eric Johnson of fruit bats on the main show, but we had too much of a good thing. So today,

we're sharing a couple more songs he performed and a little more interview, including Eric's

Desert Island jukebox pick. After a quick break, we'll head back to the Goose Island salt shed pub with Eric Johnson.

I was going to ask you about the song Rock Doc.

Yeah.

Because we forever had this segment on sound opinions, the rock doctors,

where somebody would say, my husband won't listen to anything but fish.

Can you please recommend music that doesn't suck like fish?

And then eventually we kind of like, I don't know,

the requests were becoming more and more pathetic.

But I was gonna ask you if you would give us one more song

and play that, but I also, as a true radio professional, see, where we're talking about Humbug, you know, we're going to have to drop that in, you know.

But what would be better than actually hearing the song that's big in Wales from you now?

Yeah, I'll do that one.

I'm in the proper cape.

You couldn't be Corrigan in a million years.

Yeah.

He was probably too famous, too young.
