Hey it’s Arroe. This is Play It Forward. A look at the unexpected changes endured by entertainers, writers, camera people and all others affected but not infected by the global invasion of the Coronavirus.
Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward.
Episode 162 with Larry Studnicky from High Plains Drifters
The genre-bending indie band has pushed themselves beyond the Covid lockdown and released the upbeat holiday single “Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!”

Produced by Greg Cohen (Robin Thicke, Nile Rodgers), the track tells the story of a distraught man who seeks solace in drink after having his girlfriend stolen by Santa Claus.

Inspired by a boozy and drama-filled Christmas dinner, the track features an array of instrumentation marrying traditional and contemporary sounds. After waking up the next morning and trying to remember the prior night’s holiday debacle, Larry was inspired to put pen to paper and craft the holiday tune after the melodies kept ringing in his head like a hangover.
That’s Play It Forward. You can listen to the full conversations with these artists on three different podcasts. Like Its Live, Unplugged and Totally Uncut and View from the Writing Instrument found on all digital platforms.
