Description
Join me on my first SOLO flight this episode as I guide you through the soothing waves of Yacht Rock, sharing tales of my own life's journey alongside the genre's mellow tunes. This episode isn't just a musical expedition; it's a personal odyssey reflecting on how these jazz-tinged melodies have been my steadfast companion, from the sun-soaked shores of Southern California to quiet moments of introspection. You'll get an earful of nostalgia, a peek into my transition from the Navy to the FAA, and why Yacht Rock's velvety harmonies have been more than just a playlist – they've been a lifeline through life's peaks and troughs.As your Xennial Aviator, I'm set to unravel the tapestry of Yacht Rock's smoothest hits, dissecting Kenny Loggins' velvety , to the Doobie Brothers' soulful anthems. We'll reminisce over Christopher Cross's "Sailing" and parse the intricate web of collaborations that tie these artists together. But it's not all serious business – I'll debunk a common genre myth and finally set the record straight on Jimmy Buffett's place in Yacht Rock history.Before we make our approach to paradise, a shout-out to all you five-star reviewers and my call to arms: let's make this podcast the talk of the marina! If you're ready to trade in your life vest for a lei and a chilled beverage, you won't want to miss a beat of this episode. So tune in, cast off your worries, and let's find that perfect breeze to carry us into the serene harbors of Yacht Rock.Links to my Top 5 Albums in Itunes:5.
