Did you move to LA in the 80's to make it on Sunset Strip? There are many stories about making music for a living. Sometimes you need a day job and sometimes you play the worst gig. Let's talk about the stuff that happened with people who have "made it" or "come close" or played to a dog in an otherwise empty room. There are funny and enlightening stories out there, so I started a podcast to tell these stories.

🤘🏻
This is my fav music podcast right now. The questions are so thoughtful and outside of the “ how long have you been playing and who were your influences as a kid” box it’s super refreshing. Fantastic job.
THE BEST!

Everyone is quitting their day job it seems…
