Interesting and fun to listen to
I am not a musician but I love music. Listening to these podcast interviews has given me some insight into the life of a trombone player. The journey , the challenges , the rewards , the lifestyle and choices that musicians have to make. I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions from the interchange between the host, Michael and the guest. I have listened to all of them and hope there are more Podcasts to come !
unique idea!
i used to live in boston and loved going to shows there. i made friends with a lot of folks in the scene. i miss them lots, so this was a nice way to feel connected to that world again (especially during a time when i can’t go to shows *anywhere*)
