Chris Forsyth is a guitarist and songwriter who releases music as a solo artist and also as the leader of the Solar Motel Band. He compares his music to that of the late, great John Fahey, but instead of synthesizing the blues down to its most prime elements, Chris does that with rock and roll. Chris’s songs find room for improvisation without sacrificing melody. He’s also a huge Mets fan, and we talk about both of those parts of his life on today’s episode.

In just a few hours, the Mets kick off the 2021 season. Before a single pitch is thrown or ball hit, our staff will do their best to guess what the Mets’ record will be. Put your own guesses in the comments!
Linda Surovich: 87-75

Michael Drago: 88-74. The pitching staff will have its ups and downs, but the offense will be strong enough to lead the Mets to wild card contention, and a healthy rotation of deGrom/Syndergaard/Stroman/Carrasco would then be enough to make them legitimate contenders in the postseason.
