Tamara Williamson: Recent Episodes
Tamara Williamson
Tamara Williamson Podcast. I am a thinker and I like to talk to people. My podcasts are on varied subjects that I'm sure most other thinkers will find interesting too. Tamara is a well known musician. Check out her music on bandcamp!
I made this years ago, before I had a podcast channel. I thought it was worth adding. We talked to lawyers but nothing ever happened. I guess you have to be really driven to spend your life like a pit bull with a locked jaw... to get heard.
This is a great album.

Mark Sasso is one of the founding members of ELLIOTT BROOD talking about his One Song "Their Will" released on the album "Days into Years" 2011. We have crossed paths many times over the last few years as Stephen Pitkin also helps me with drums and mastering on many of my projects. Please visit Elliott Broods website for details on their new release "KEEPER" released September 2020. https://www.elliottbrood.com Elliott Brood is a Canadian three-piece, alternative country band formed in 2002 in Toronto, consisting of Mark Sasso on lead vocals, guitar, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and kazoo, Casey Laforet on guitar, lead vocals, backing vocals, bass pedals, keys, and ukulele, and Stephen Pitkin on percussion, sampler, and backing vocals. The band's style has been categorized as "death country", "frontier rock", or "revival music" Their Will (lyrics) On waves, we had come They planted us on to these shores Now we had never known Such sights or the places That we now called home We were given to this day There was silence And then came their calls Urged us up and over for King and Country For God's sake, don't hesitate boys Make the distance before they see"
Then into their fire, we drove our bodies Then came the sounds Cries of pain emerged from within the clouds
Our feet, they fell apart Our will soon followed, as did our hearts With head in hands We traced our paths On the remnants of their worn out maps And prayed for an end
By the time We had turned around The tides had come Reclaimed the broken ground
We forgot that we were men And where we came from And where we laid our heads
And the wounds we had We all knew they'd never mend And the ones we lost And the ones we couldn't save

ONE SONG (3) Tony Dekker from The Great Lake Swimmers. Moving Pictures Silent Films.
An interview I did in 2017 with Tony Dekker from The Great Lake Swimmers. Tony and I toured together with an artist called Barzin many years before in France in about 2000. He became my friend and I loved talking with him about this beautiful song.

This is the second of a few interviews I did in 2017 for a series called One Song.
I asked the artist to pick their favourite song or any song that they felt they wanted to talk about. My mission was to not ask too many questions and to allow the artist to talk about their one song because I felt that maybe in the world of so much... just focusing on one song for a little longer would be inspiring and maybe make us feel more.
This is Dayna Manning talking about her song O SNOW.

Charles chose this song "The Fare to Get There". When we recorded this interview I thought maybe this idea was too introspective but listening back to this I see there is a lot of beauty and nostalgia in this short conversation. I listened to this today and just loved listening to Charles and remembering the 90's and a time in music that has maybe past and maybe not.

In 2015 I wrote a book called the Break-Up Diet. My friend Patty said I was a terrible writer but she couldn't put it down.. So I made it into a musical and this audio book. (so people wouldn't judge my bad grammar) Since then the musical has been played on many stages...I have re-written the book and these chapters were excluded. So I thought I might just send them out into the world.
I'm still trying to get the book published.
This podcast includes music by me and my friend Morgan Doctor https://morgandoctor.com and a track from my band Mrs. Torrance album I'm The Bird... some sex pistols..shhhhh...

Podcast notes....from Therapy 4.
The other dream I had was when I was about sixteen…
It starts with me standing in a tall white house. I need to get out..I turn and start running down the hallway looking into empty rooms… trying to find an exit. I eventually am outside the house but there is black barbwire surrounding it about two feet away from the wall. I run around and around the house trying to find an opening. Eventually I do and then I’m running down a dirt road…everything is dusty and faded…as I’m running I hear a telephone ringing.
I keep running and someone says… “Tammy its for you” I shout back
“Who is it?”
The other person says..
“It’s you”
So I turn and start running towards the phone which is in the middle of a field. It’s an American style phone booth.. glass. I pick up the receiver..
“Hello”
“Please, I’m still inside the house” I reply
“ok, hold on, I’m coming to get you” I say
I start running back towards the house, I’m really scared and determined, I get through the barb wire and I’m running around the house eventually I get in, and then I’m running from room to room slamming doors open, until I get to the final door ..
I push the door open with force. The room in front of me is white and full of light, it’s set up like a chapel with pue’s in lines and a huge cross on the back wall, and in the front row is me standing looking up at the cross…I clearly see the back of my head and then it starts to turn..i start to turn..to look back at myself, to turn around and face myself and then I wake up.
