Uncover the Musical and Cardinal Tales of Supe

Supe's Musical Roots

Granda recalls, "Even though I didn't come from a musical family, there was always music playing at home. While my parents weren't into the Grand Ol' Opry, I could distinguish between Count Basie and Benny Goodman. As my musical tastes evolved, I could tell the difference between Hendrix and Clapton. This is evident in my music, which blends elements of rock and roll, big bands, and anything with a swing. My love for country music came later in life."

His diverse musical background has shaped his unique sound and added a special flavor to his performances. Whether it's his rock and roll tunes or his country-inspired works, Supe's music captivates audiences.

He takes pride in his ability to connect with people through music and has made a name for himself both on the stage and in the hearts of fans.

Supe's Love for the Cardinals

For Supe, the love for the St. Louis Cardinals runs deep. "Over the span of a couple of decades in the '80s and '90s, I was fortunate to have a media credential into Busch Stadium. I had a pencil, a notepad, and access to the inner workings of a professional baseball team. This allowed me to pour my passion for the game into my monthly columns," he shares.

His essays and articles about the Cardinals are individual entities, each with its own unique subject and focus. Readers can enjoy them in any order without worrying about continuity. Supe's observations over the years have become a part of Cardinals history.

His love for the team is not just a passing fancy but a lifelong passion that shines through in his writing.
