    So Why Am I Playing 30-Year-Old Songs?

    Send us Fan Mail Paul skips the chaos of I-95 and takes the back roads, talking traffic, time flying (wait… is it May already?), and the overwhelming flood of new music dropping every single day. With thousands of songs hitting platforms like Spotify daily, how does anyone keep up? So what’s the move? Go backwards. Paul dives into why he’s been locked into 30–40-year-old tracks lately—and it’s not just nostalgia. It’s about getting back behind the drum kit, relearning songs, and realizing there’s a big difference between hearing music… and actually listening to it. If you’ve ever tried to learn a song by ear, juggle life with music, or just feel buried by too much content in today’s world—this one hits. 🚗 Short commute. Real talk.  🎶 New music vs. old grooves  🥁 Getting back into playing (for real this time) Got a topic you want Paul to riff on? Hit the link in the description and jump in the passenger seat.
