I was trying to decide what to do for my 50th episode for a while. I thought about doing my favorites, but I've played most of them already.Then I saw that Brian Compos, for the Pants Off Podcast's 100th episode, had Brian Campos as the guest! I thought if he can get away with being so narcissistic, I could get away with being self-centered and playing a bunch of people I know.So this episode features music acts that have either a friend of mine, a family member, or a family member of a friend.Well, all except one. It has a member who has the same name as an old high school friend of mine. And I only found out last week that it wasn't his band!So, yes, this episode once again proves it doesn't matter what you know or if you're talented. Long as you have connections, you too - after 49 episodes and almost 3 years - could appear in one of my podcasts!TRACK LISTING:For more information, click on the link below the track.Opening - Iowa Music Showcase theme by Dylan Boyle(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2015/01/intro-and-closing-dylan-boyle.html)Song 1 - "Tip of My Tongue" by Hold for Swank(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-song-1-tip-of-my-tongue-by-hold.html)Song 2 - "Body Drive" by Dharma Street Groove(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-song-3-body-drive-by-dharma.html)Extra 1 - Extra 1: My stepson playing piano in his school jazz combo and percussion in his middle school band(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-extra-1-my-stepson-playing-piano.html)Song 3 - "Mona Lisa Overdrive" by Head Candy (plus the video of their unreleased song, "Thunderbolt Raft")(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-050-song-4-mona-lisa-overdrive-by.html)Song 4 - "Waterside" by The Winfield Middle School Varsity Marching Band(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-song-5-waterside-by-winfield.html)Extra 2 - My daughter in her high school marching band(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-extra-2-my-daughter-in-her-high.html)Song 5 - "Loretta" by Exit(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-song-6-loretta-by-exit.html)Song 6 - "Ember Mountain" by David Goes to Boarding School(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/ep-50-song-7-ember-mountain-by-david.html)Closing - Iowa Music Showcase theme by Dylan Boyle(http://iowamusicshowcasesongs.blogspot.com/2015/01/intro-and-closing-dylan-boyle.html)All song are copyrighted by the performers and composers, and used by their kind permission.Next episode: Another look at Iowa's hip hop!One year ago...Other Sources: Four Recent Iowa Compilation Albums - http://iowamusicshowcase.blogspot.com/2016/09/other-sources-four-recent-iowa.htmlTwo years ago...Episode 15 - Iowa Metal and Hard Rock -http://iowamusicshowcase.blogspot.com/2015/09/episode-15-iowa-metal-and-hard-rock.htmlIowa Music Showcase can be listened to and/or downloaded on the following sites:Home page:http://iowamusicshowcase.blogspot.com/Feed:http://feeds.feedburner.com/IowaMusicShowcaseItunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/iowa-music-showcase/id1173339660Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Iowa-Music-Showcase/364796883703114Soundcloud:https://soundcloud.com/iowa-music-showcaseBandcamp:https://iowamusicshowcase.bandcamp.com/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMPcIaIvvs0Aj4zk2JbXdQ/feedIowa Music Showcase is also on Code Zero Radio every Tuesday and Thursday at 10pm central time:http://codezeroradio.com/Other websites:Twitter:https://twitter.com/iamusicshowcaseInstagram:https://instagram.com/iowamusicshowcaseReverbNation:https://www.reverbnation.com/iowamusicshowcaseArchive.org:https://archive.org/details/@iowa_music_showcase#uploadsSpotify:https://play.spotify.com/user/iowamusicshowcase
