We go WAY back for this first episode and discuss Gene's childhood. How did he become a saxophone player? What was his first instrument? And a surprising answer to a commonly asked question . . . how, exactly, did he get the name Daddy G, anyway?
FYI, the original name of this podcast was A Night with Daddy G, as reflected in the recording. Surprisingly, there is another podcast by this name, so we've altered it to avoid confusion.
