Decadent Dave Clement

Corey Toews — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 09:00:00 +0000

On Saturday May 21, 2022 the CoreyGeek caught up with Filk legend Decadent Dave Clement during Keycon 39 in the Dandy Lion Inn con-suite on the fifteenth floor of the Radisson Hotel in downtown Winnipeg. The interview was conducted in front of a group of con-goers.

This episode marks the first time the CoreyGeek has been able to sit down face to face with an artist for the show. The result is that this interview is one that the interviewer is excited to present in it's raw form.

The episode with be uploaded again on a later date in the format that you have become familiar with, with music from both Dave Clement and Dandelion Wine inserted.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.
