This episode is a special tribute edition to a friend Bob McDowell who passed away. Bob and I were scheduled to do a podcast over the holidays to discuss his military career and his incredible music ability. We rescheduled as Bob was not feeling well...we never got the chance to have that discussion. Bob was a Navy Veteran, a father, an incredibly gifted and underrated musician with the band The Damnits. Bob was kind, smart, funny and most of all just an incredible human. I will miss our conversations and miss seeing him when I visit Columbus. I think as a tribute the best thing I can do is share his music. I hope you enjoy his incredible talent and take the time to visit itunes, bandcamp and their website. You will be greatly missed brother, RIP Bob McDowellFor more information on Bob and his band The Damnits visit:thedamnits.comFor more information on The Abstract Athlete, check out our website at:https://www.theabstractathlete.com/For information on the One Man's Ethos Podcast visit:https://www.onemansethos.com/For more information on The Abstract Doctors Podcast visit:https://www.theabstractdoctors.com/
