A Musicians Food Story Mark Gibson
b"We knew this would be a special interview.\\nMark Gibson is a musical celebrity around here and the quiet waters run deep with Mark. Super thoughtful and a consummate story teller, we couldn\\u2019t have chosen a better guest to kick off our fourth season of food stories.\\nMeeting in the studio kitchen (I did my best to adjust the sound quality but it\\u2019s still in the kitchen), the topics ranged from wrestling to his music beginnings to his love for Thai curries.\\nMark, like many singers and songwriters, is a complex person but also a refreshingly, kind and gentle soul. He was born and raised Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and went to college on a wrestling scholarship not discovering his true love for music until he was an older teen. He stopped wrestling to pursue his music and has never looked back.\\nMark shared how he developed his love for Thai food as well as growing up as one of three boys (all wrestlers) and competitively vying for food at dinnertime or actually, anytime because they ate A LOT! He has a special affinity for sweets, especially, donuts. And, although we didn\\u2019t get it worked into the interview, he makes a mean chili.\\nThe pandemic has seriously impacted his ability to perform live and so he has been producing weekly Facebook Live concerts from his living room. You can still catch them, \\u201clike\\u201d his page, Mark Gibson Music and you\\u2019ll get the latest\\nOf course, you\\u2019ll want to check out his website, MarkGibsonMusic.com (https://www.markgibsonmusic.com/). His most recent album \\u201cLive From Soul City\\u201d is available on iTunes along with two other albums and singles. You can also listen to selections but you\\u2019ll want to hear (and then buy) them all\\u2026Support our starving artists!\\nSo, as we introduced him in this episode, without further ado\\u2026here\\u2019s Mark Gibson.\\n\\n\\nOur next guest, Judy Allen is a Food Writer, Recipe Developer, Food Stylist and Food Magazine Junkie. She is been the Food Editor for any number of publications, including one you\\u2019ve probably heard of, Martha Stewart Living and yes, we got her to tell a few \\u201cMartha\\u201d stories. Don\\u2019t miss it.\\nAnd, what about you? Do you have a food story? We'd love to hear it. Share it in the comments below and more likely than not, you'll hear it in one of our episodes.And, in case you haven't heard, the kitchen and our hands-on classes are back up and running. We are wearing masks and now Tulsa has a mask mandate as well as WalMart, Sam\\u2019s Club and Target. I mean, you wear a seat belt and a helmet when you ride your bicycle or motorcycle, what's the difference? Other than, when you wear a mask you protect other people. It's the kind thing to do; we hope you think so, too. Pretty sure, the vaccine won't be available for a long time.If you have a minute, please take a look at our Patreon page and consider becoming a member.
