I was introduced to Craig Colquitt through Phil Carson, whom I met at Podcast Multimedia Expo (a must for podcasters). Craig is the father of Britton and Dustin Colquitt and part of the University of Tennessee Football punting dynasty. My friend and UT alumni Mikie Gause was thrilled when I told her Craig was going to be a guest. Her quote “you can always count on a Colquitt”.

The Colquitt’s are a punting phenomenon, Craig, Dustin and Britton all punted for U of Tenn and all three are NFL Superbowl winners as punters. Craig won two Superbowl rings with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1979 & 80) while Dustin won with the Kansas City Chefs (2020) and Britton won his ring with the Denver Broncos (2016).

Craig is an amazing father, artist and has some amazing football and life stories he shares on this episode. From playing with Terry Bradshaw to watching his sons develop from soccer players into NFL punters. I can say I truly learned a lot about punting and thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Craig. I think you will also. Oh and it seems the Colquitt punting dynasty may continue as Dustin’s son are already making a new mark on the football field.

In this episode I talk with a fellow South Carolinian, Marvin King, the father of Grammy nominated guitarist and singer, Marcus King. Marvin resides in the beautiful city of Greenville, SC and is also a musician, as was his father. Marvin is proud to see his son Marcus carry on a family tradition. Even playing his grandfather’s rare “Big Red” Gibson guitar.

Marcus has really exploded on the rock, country and blues scene over the last couple of years. He nominated for a Grammy and tours the world doing both acoustic and electric shows and has played with a who’s who in the rock, blues and country music scene.

Marcus gave his father Marvin a chance to meet his guitar hero Eric Clapton, has sat in on recordings with his dad and is loving and humble brother to Holland and son to Marvin.
This is a fantastic music loving episode, a chance to hear a father’s advice to his son, feel the joy of a father standing in his son’s shadow and even a little of the deadly side of living the Rock & Roll lifestyle.
