Welcome to the first of many conversations about Squeeze. In this debut episode, I'm joined by 'rockumentary' filmmaker Amy Pickard. Back in 2001, she put pedal to the metal and hit the highways and byways of America, traveling in an RV with Glenn Tilbrook in one of his many (but certainly not last) solo tours. What followed was a journey not entirely expected and as we discover, this film chronicled not only Glenn's performances but his interaction with fans, his recollections of his days with Squeeze and where he stood in life back in that time. Pickard captured all this and more and in this talk, she also reveals how she started in the music business and her continuing adventures with Squeeze. Stream the film at the Coda Collection via Amazon Prime Video: https://codacollection.co/films/glenn-tilbrook-one-for-the-road See where Amy is today: https://goodtogopeace.org/
