Scarecrow with John Drury

The Song: “Scarecrow” written by Tom Adamson 2004. In this episode you’ll hear two versions: the full length is from the 2011 LP “Vanity Project” by Tom Adamson and the Texarkana Two. Clips also appear from the 2010 DIY Scarecrow Single with John Drury on drums. The ‘10 version is also the theme music for John’s Fresh Text podcast and a staple of my live sets.

The Friend: John became a friend in the summer of 1998 when the student apartment I roomed in held John and friends of this show Erik Fisher and Todd Bushong. The four of us spent that summer landscaping by day and bonding over faith, culture, music, and coming of age by night. None of us are landscapers anymore, but we continue our friendships along the same lines to this day. John joined the roster of my musical collaborators in 2010 behind a drum kit - and a decade later, he is still helping me record new tracks, including the 2021 Kem Road 7”. John is the host of his own podcast Fresh Text, a weekly in depth conversation on seasonal Bible passages.
