    About this Episode

    Tom The Suit Forst catches up with the legendary Mark Farner, vocalist of Grand Funk, in Episode 16 of Chasing the Blues Podcast Season 2. Mark gives Tom some inside information about the recording of "I'm Your Captain," one of Tom's favorite blues-rock songs, which Grand Funk released in 1970. He fills Tom in about his work with Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp, and shares a personal message of unity, and the need for all Americans to come together as a nation.
    "We are an American Family," he declares, with a nod to his classic rock song "We're an American Band."

    Mark also tells Tom about his Go Fund Me, which he started with his wife, to help families across Michigan impacted by flooding over the past year.
