Wide-ranging discussions with and about musicians and the lives they lead, both in and out of their professions. The opposite of 'shut up and play', this podcast's mission is to explore the lives of musicians (or this musician) in ways that are surprising, revealing, funny (because, believe or not, musicians can be funny. . . except for trombone players, but everyone knows that!), truthful, and, inevitably, sensationally commercial.
