Customer Reviews
Clifton the beard
The only thing greater than Clifton’s beard is his southern drawl...and his podcast....and Reese’s Peanutbutter Cups.
Just started this one...
Just started this podcast (I tend to feed on guitar related ones), and I can already tell I’m going to bing listen to all the episodes so far..
I feel like I’m sitting there with all my guitar friends (but they are just ignoring me)...
Excellent job guys.. Keep up the great work...
Listening Highlight of My Week
This is the driving-to-work listening highlight of my week. Cliff is a great host (and not just because he's family). Really love the Worleybirds format with Josh and Nick lately. Great show all around.
