info_outlineWelcome, Max Wickemeyer to our 205th podcast! Max is also known as Max Harris Wickemeyer or, by his professional name Max H. Wickemeyer. We were introduced to Max by our friend and early podcast guest, Dan Cooney, the co-owner of Heavenly Spirits and our first sponsor.
Max said that I described him as a polymath and that, "only time will tell" if, what I said was accurate. He started taking music lessons at 7 years old including trumpet, drums, and then guitar at 12. He's continued playing ever since and was a trio member of a hobby rock group, which according to AI Overview, is a group, "whose members play music primarily for enjoyment and personal satisfaction, rather than for professional gain or career advancement.
It's a group that enjoys the creative process of making music together, often focusing on the camaraderie and artistic expression rather than commercial success." The group performed for charities and was called The Turlebackband. Max says they got together in 2003 and played together until 2017. He was a collaborator and not a frontman. His role was bass player and very occasional harmony. According to Max, "I also helped keep the group glued socially.
Max Wickemeyer's other artisanal experiences and executions include carpentry, painting, plaster, metalwork, fine furniture, and picture frames. He is a long-time landscape gardener and his other hobbies include yoga, forest walks, biking, and roaming places including neighborhoods of my most recent residence, the South Coast. He's also been a volunteer land steward for Nature Conservancy.
He spent 37 years in the insurance industry and retired to, "only seek an understanding of the cosmos." He has one daughter and two grandchildren.
Max Wickemeyer spoke with The Artists Index’s cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, last summer, about his passions, his interests, and his new life after relocating to the South Coast. This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.
