Rod Coe interview

A good friend Slim Pickens recommended that I listen to this interview, Rod regularly plays in my band..Hubcap Stan & the Sidewalk Stompers, he has become a good friend also… it was terrific to hear of Rod’s background and his take on a musicians life..
Jan ( interviewer) is quite an articulate speaker and seems quite an experienced musician as well and did the interview really well… being a creator of interesting stringed instruments, a fellow musician and was a very good friend of the late John Sayers who designed the studio for Jan, I think I may stop in and visit this mullumbimby studio and meet Jan…..
This was the first podcast I’ve heard and I’m sure it’s not going to be the last !!!
Thankyou Jan for your time, dedication and experience that you are sharing… well done !!!
