It’s the last Musical Connections podcast before the 2025 ECMAs! I welcome singer-songwriter, music producer, and audio engineer, Jim “Wildfinger” Mercer! I connect with Jim about his new song which demo amassed more than 100,000 views on Facebook, “Don’t Tell Me What To Do”. Plus we talk about some memories from Wildfinger Productions which include working on John White’s last album and having the man of a thousand songs, Ron Hynes stop by to work on demos for “Mary Got A Baby”!
