From The Vault - Episode 536: Craig Dorfman (Author of ”Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story”)

Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! In celebration of 30 years of Jellyfish's classic album, Spilt Milk, today we go back to episode 536 with Craig Dorfman, author of "Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story"! This show was originally released on 10/24/2016. Below are my original notes form the show. 
Are you a fan of the band, Jellyfish? Do you ever wonder why they only released two albums (Bellybutton - 1991, Spilt Milk - 1993) and broke up? Do you ever wonder what ever happened to the members of the band? Well, for episode 536 I talk to Craig Dorfman, the man who wrote the book about Jellyfish. The book is called, "Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story" Craig just picked up distribution last week, so it should make its way into some stores in the next few months, but for now you can get it the "Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story" facebook page. I reached out to Craig and got a copy of the book. I absolutely loved it. Jellyfish is one of my favorite bands and it was great to hear the whole story told by the people that lived it and told in a single narrative that keeps you engaged the whole time. Craig and I have a great conversation about finding the dozens of people involved in the story and interviewing them and working on the book for over 7 years, his love of music and these guys and their life story and much, much more. I hope you enjoy getting to know Craig. I sure did. Let's get down!
