the Mountain Echo

"Ready for Pushback"
**may be a two-listen episode due to the longer run-time.
In this longer episode, Dan Carroll shares delightful stories about his childhood, his parents, meeting his wife from Lookout Mtn for the first time, his family, his love of flying and his love of cars.
This is a super fun episode full of laughs, edits, more laughs and a lot of cutting up. Dan is like a perfectionist with a great sense of humor and that combination will have the listeners smiling and laughing from the beginning to the end of this episode. We had so much fun making this episode that we included a "Smokey and The Bandit" style blooper track at the end of the main episode.
Dan is full of surprises from his love of ski racing to his recent win in a big car show.
Dan doesn't disappoint in the "Love Dept.", either as he shares the story of his first time on Lookout as he came to meet his amazing wife, Talley. Also hear about their two wonderful children and what they are up to these days.
Listen in and hear about Nino, the Italian mechanic, and Dan's first car, to all about the Ferrari Club of America - this episode is big and loaded. We talk about New Haven, CT, East Rock, The Foote School and MTSU, 'aviation English' and Murfreesboro and Mr. King.
Hear about flying and the airline industry of today and the changes close ahead for us all. Also hear all about Dan's main passion...Cars. And, at the end of the episode, hear some surprise news for mountain residents as Dan and the host share news about a possible upcoming event that is sure to get a good turnout on the mountain.
* Note - this hour-plus, long episode may need to heard in two or more listens - it's a big one - but well worth your time. Enjoy - and Dan - Good job! You did great! You are a true Mountain Treasure!
