We go on a LOT of tangents during this episode, per usual, but it's the story of how Gene Barge met Andy Davis and Tamar Hoffs, and got involved in Stony Island. We talk about all of the wonderful cast members -- many of whom became stars in their own right.

Special notes:
Gene was sitting in a very creaky chair during our chat. We apologize for the annoying noise. :-)
Also, to clarify, Larry Ball and Tennyson Stephens co-wrote Percy's Theme for Stony Island.
