                                    <description><![CDATA[Dreamers2Makers Podcast | Curious People That Do Extraordinary Things (EP011)
Guest: Pastor Brady Blade Senior
Hosted by Mike Dawson (Songwriter, Composer, STEAM Advocate)
Today’s guest is Pastor Brady Blade. He’s best known for his 58 year ministry at the Zion Baptist Church in Shreveport Louisiana and founding the legendary gospel music group The Hallelujah Train. He’s the husband of Dorthy Blade and the father of world renowned musicians Brady and Brian Blade. 
It is not an understatement to state that the Blade family under the parenting of Brady and Dorthy Blade have become an artistic, musical, and inspirational tour de force equal to the Marsalis and Neville families.
This is one of three interviews that features the men of the Blade musical family. I had originally planned to conduct one interview with my friend Brady Blade Junior during a return to his childhood home in Shreveport in May 2019. While interviewing Brady Jr., he suggested that I interview his Dad, Brady Senior.
So after I wrapped the interview with Brady Junior, I rushed across town and found myself in Pastor Blade’s office surrounded by guitars, amplifiers, and books spilling from the many bookcases
My interview covered many subjects and details about his life as Pastor at the Zion Baptist Church and as singer/bass player leading The Hallelujah Train gospel group.
It was one of the highest honors of my life to interview Pastor Blade.

Guest: Brady Blade Jr. - Drummer/Producer
Hosted by Mike Dawson (Songwriter, Composer, STEAM Advocate)
I am excited to present today’s guest, drummer/producer Brady Blade. He’s best known for recording and performing with world renowned musicians such as Emmy Lou Harris, Dave Matthews, Steve Earl, Charlie Sexton, Doyle Bramhall,. And if this this list wasn't enough, Brady has make music with The Waterboys, Indigo Girls, Jewel, Patty Griffin, and Soloman Burke. The Brady family has enjoyed a long musical collaborative relationship with the Canadian music producer/songwriter/ performer Daniel Lanois.
This is one of three interviews that features the Blade musical family. While this interview is with Brady Blade (Jr.), upcoming Dreamers2Makers broadcasts will feature conversations with his brother Brian Blade and their father Brady Blade Senior. It is not an  understatement to say that the Blade family is a music and artistic force on par with Bach or Gershwin. 
Today’s podcast was recorded at the Blade family home in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was a great pleasure to reconnect with Brady and hear lovely stories about his family and musical life.
