Sybil sits down with Austin Church, a legend in the music industry, who started out scratching songs while working  in a gas station in the 1970s, and kept rolling until he was co-writing songs with Jimmy Buffet, and didn't stop there.
Austin The Church Man divines us on his “Cosmic Butter” and his innovative approach to music, people and the passion of the industry. His latest CD, Propitious Melange, is phenomenal, and Sybil introduces us to it with “The King Of Cool” (The Church Man’s song about Chet Baker) and then keeps us hungering with some of Austin’s old tunes as well as some of his new ones before he has to hurry out the door to his next gig. We round out the hour with Big Maybelle, Dr John and a native New Orleanian and Bluesman, Joe Survival Caruso.
