EPISODE SUMMARY:

Good music doesn’t come out of nowhere. It grows and evolves from what came before it, and is shaped by what is around it. Everyone’s favorite band owes a debt of gratitude to the performers who came before and walked so they could run. British rockers The Yardbirds are a perfect example, not only because their bluesy sound would influence artists for generations to come. Several members of the band would go on to become part of some of the biggest acts in history, like Cream, Faces and Led Zeppelin. That’s why comedian Wayne Federman keeps coming back to talk about them. He loves and respects that history, as he does the history of stand-up, more than most.
