Ep. 99 - JEFF HANNA ("Bless the Broken Road")

Jeff gives the inside scoop on the early days of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band when Jackson Browne was playing kazoo; how he first got into writing songs when he was playing in Linda Ronstadt's backup band; why he didn't want his record label to release "Mr. Bojangles" as a single; the time Steve Goodman kicked his butt in racquetball with a chemo pump in his arm; and how it's possible that Jeff never met one of his "Bless the Broken Road" co-writers until they showed up at the Grammy awards together.
