In this episode we welcome Clay Chaney of the Show Ponies, a great local band. Clay tells us about growing up in Bentonville, AR where Walmart is based out of. We hear how the band the Show Ponies was formed and a great story from touring. The guys in the band were staying a friend of a friend's house, but not everyone in the house knew they were going to be staying there.
