This episode’s artist career spans the decades since the early 70s all the way to today. With 18 albums and hundreds of songs, she has continued to grow and evolve over the years. Her talent and advocacy are second to none. To say she is prolific is an understatement. One of the hardest working people I know, she continues to record, tour and teach, live and online.

From the first time I met Tret Fure long, long, ago I fell in love with her voice, her guitar, and her song writing. A lot has changed since then so let’s cut my intro short and get on to the interview.

I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. Welcome to part one of two episodes where we’ll interview the celebrated and talented singer/songwriter, gardener, and puppy painter, Tret Fure.

Next up in the Reverb series is #4. I’ve combined my second episode 1-2 Friends, published on September 8th of 2021, with episode 3-5 Dottie Lou- Fable and Fact published on August 19th of 2022. This reverb episode includes the songs, “Fallen Angel”, “Hard Road”, and “Dottie Lou”. The next section is my conversation with Dottie Lou, and a solo guitar and voice version of the song. At the very end is a mashup of all the different versions and bands with whom I’ve recorded the song.

Waaay back in August of 2018 I was attending a Livingston Taylor songwriting and performing retreat at Boston University. We spent the day working on our songs and performance with Liv, Vance Gilbert and Melissa Ferrick. After dinner we all got our instruments and had an informal song swap in the main meeting room. This was kind of a round robin sort of thing where each of us would play a song and then the next person would play and so on. There was one guy who had been pretty quiet during the workshop, a little standoffish if I’m to be honest. So, I was pretty astonished when it came his turn to play. He pulled out his Martin and sang a great song, well performed. That person is Tod Pronto. I was impressed with Tod and started following his progress as he opened for Liv and Jonathan Edwards and other folk greats. Then, I found his Sunday morning 9am streaming show, Coffee with Tod on YouTube or on Facebook. Then, I found out that he also has a regular cartoon, Midlife Thesis, that is published every week.

I mean, what can’t he do?

I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes podcast. In this episode we’ll interview dear friend and accomplished singer/songwriter/cartoonist Tod Pronto and listen to three of his songs recorded live during our visit.
