About this Podcast:

Book of Jude, Season One, is a series of discussions between myself, singer, songwriter - Jude Johnstone, and my daughter, 30 year old singer, songwriter - Ray Duncan, about the songs, stories, thoughts and experiences from my many years in the music business. We start from the beginning, growing up in Maine, playing in a top forty band, meeting Clarence Clemons on a plane, spending time in NYC and New Jersey under his wing, attending the famous No Nukes concerts at Madison Square Garden, watching Bruce Springsteen record "The River", and then moving to Los Angeles in 1979. From there we delve into making demos, playing clubs, singing backup vocals, signing my first publishing deal, and getting my first songs covered by well known artists. Ray asks me questions about how each of those early experiences educated and shaped me. We also touch on some of the mistakes I made and what I would have done differently now. We discuss my choice to eventually leave LA for the Central Coast of C
