Emily places a New Year's Day call to Dayton, Ohio to talk to multi-instrumentalist M. Ross Perkins about the fine art of thinking small and the politics of home recording. It's a lesson in the economics of artistic survival and also the longest-distance call The Lipstick Pickup Podcast has ever made -- over two hours of solid-state thinking and even a performance of M. Ross's "Let A Little Lazy."

Jim Washburn's relationship with Danelectro influenced his love of guitars and it also ignited his career as a journalist and writer on the subject. He's been a valued resource to The Lipstick Pickup Podcast and in this episode, Emily calls him Costa Mesa, California to hear more about his extensive knowledge about these instruments, their evolution, and their impact on music history. The discussion covers various topics, including the significance of 1958 in electric guitar design, the rise of the baritone guitar, and the legacy of the six-string bass. Washburn also highlights influential musicians who have used Danelectro guitars and delves into the unique designs and concepts behind these instruments.
