A lot of people suffer under the misconception that if you’re a “known” musician that you have it made.
Our guests this week certainly turn that on it’s head as Dave Ellefson and Joel Hoekstra give a rundown of what they’ve been doing during these Covid quarantine times.
These are certainly two guys that are doing anything but kicking back and doing nothing. Be sure to support them and grab a copy of Dave’s “No Cover” and Joels’s “Running Games”.

This week we sit down once again with Tesla bassist Brian Wheat. We’ve had Brian on the show before talking about the last acoustic release from the band 2020's "Five Man London Jam".
This time he’s on board to talk about his freshly released biography “Son Of A Milkman”. Plus we talk a bit of Tesla history since after all the subtitle of the book is “My crazy life with Tesla”.

Angus and the boys from AC/DC have bestowed another album upon us and this week we welcome back their long time engineer Mike Fraser to give us the background info on PWR UP.
And while we have him on the line we also talk a bit about some other classics from his back history including Van Halen, Whitesnake and Coverdale-Page.
This one’s a damn fine way to wrap up 2020.
