And that it’s your dream and not someone else’s.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Robert’s featured song in this episode is the live version of “1972”, from Project Grand Slam’s album, </strong><i><strong>Greetings From Serbia</strong></i><strong>. Robert chose this song because it captures the vibe of the year 1972 which is right in the timeline of when Jim was writing all his hit songs.</strong></p><p><strong>Spotify:</strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1NCrIL3hS7ftyqfwrRagUr?si=JTCgU-t5SeSoOqXebAHpZA&dl_branch=1"><strong>https://open.spotify.com/track/1NCrIL3hS7ftyqfwrRagUr?si=JTCgU-t5SeSoOqXebAHpZA&dl_branch=1</strong></a></p><p><strong>---------------------------------------</strong></p><p><strong>Robert’s celebrated band, </strong><a href="https://www.projectgrandslam.com"><strong>Project Grand Slam</strong></a><strong>, will be performing a Benefit Concert at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA on August 17th at 8:30pm.
