]]> Red Dirt Randy's Memorial Leah Rae and Tonya Little 00:27:17 This episode was recorded at the memorial held in honor of the one and only Red Dirt Randy, where we got to sit down with Randy's brother and sister and talk about the man, the myth, the legend. William (Red Dirt Randy) Hare passed away from complications from diabetes on November 24, 2021. Randy grew up in Midwest City, served in the Marines, and was a healthcare worked assisting mentally and physically challenged patients. He was 38 years sober and an active member of the twelve-step program and helping mentor others. Randy's first love was Red Dirt music and everything associated with it. He attended every possible show he could, and made friends wherever he went. He will be missed greatly and we are glad we were able to attend the memorial in his honor. We are so very sorry this is so late being published. Life threw lots of things our way, including a move out of state for Leah, which makes it hard to do the podcast. We hope to occasionally still be able to record one, but we want to thank all of you who have tuned in on our adventures and joined us in the fun. We appreciate you.

This episode features interviews with members of the Last Call Coalition band, as well as previous tour manager Lord Joseph Melton. The band was formed in 2008 and disbanded in 2015, and it was a wild and crazy time of shenanigans along the way.  Included  are Josh Rutz (lead guitar), Mike Hatley (original drummer), Jerry Stanley (original bassist), and Jesse Holcomb (bassist). We missed the presence of Jeremy Clark who played drums for several years and was a great asset to the band as well as a good friend. But the rest of the band members were present and it was a great time of catching up and sharing ridiculous stories and tales, as only this band could do. It was an amazing time getting to catch up with these old friends and share in our memories of Chad. It was truly special and magical. This episode takes you on a journey of life on the road with Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition, and we think you will enjoy the ride.

Leah Rae and Tonya Little 00:55:05 This is part 3 in a 3 part series of podcasts featuring interviews from at the Last Call Celebration held at the end of July in Stillwater, in honor of Chad Sullins, who passed away in June of heart complications. The day was filled with music, memories, laughter and tears as we all came together to pour out our love in Chad's memory and to help raise money for his children. The event, hosted by Tumbleweeds and Red Dirt Relief Fund, in addition to other events and fundraisers, raised over $40k for his three children. We were honored to have been a part of Chad's life. Chad leaves a void in the red dirt family tree, and he will forever be in our hearts. We were honored to take part in the Last Call Celebration and were able to sit down with several people, including the previous members of the Last Call Coalition, which resulted in a couple of different episodes for this series. Episode 1 shares The Red Dirt Queen of Heart's story, our own Tonya Little, and how she found her way to the red dirt scene through Chad. Episode 2, we sat down with several different people who were at the event, to collect their stories and memories of Chad and the part he played in their lives. We had some really great conversations with everyone there, and it was a great episode. In this final episode, we got the members of the Last Call Coalition together, minus Jeremy Clark who was unable to make it, to share their stories and adventures of life on the road and together as the band that backed Chad Sullins for so many years.
