Special “Beau-nus” Episode! The Blackening (an interview with Beau Black). - a podcast by David Goldsmith

This mid-week on The Swirl, Bry & Dave change it up as they welcome Disney composer/Dave writing partner and sole creator of the indelible “Swirl” theme music, Beau Black. Together, they launch into their (limited) histories of interracial relationships/hookups/dream collaborators, before hunkering down to address the immortal question, “which comes first, the music or the lyrics?” After a process discussion about songwriting, reframing “writer’s blocks” and making their way through a Disney assignment, Dave creates a technical nightmare that leads to a personal history of Beau’s unusual childhood as the son of a few-hit wonder with mafia ties and how even the most checkered childhood can be transformed into a gift. With hit songs from Beau’s father Jay Black (of Jay & The Americans), and his gorgeous and talented wife Alex Cartañà (“Shake It”). It’s a break from another crazy week of pandemic politics; a Black/Spanish/Jewish Swirly Dessert for your ears. TASTE IT! Enjoy.
