Mike is the leader of a doom metal group called YOB. James wrote him a contemporary guitar solo. Worlds collided and amazing stuff came from it. I learned a ton from talking to them both about the diversity and acceptance in the metal world of other genres. Hope you enjoy this chat.
David and I chat about the recent Roe v. Wade decision as it pertains to his religious belief as a reformed Calvinist. I have lived in or beside Lutheran Churches for the last 15 years, so this chat was interesting for me. David is a good soul and we (as thoughtfully as we could) worked through the myriad issues surrounding abortion.
Adair is a former HS classmate of mine and she currently helps folks re-sell their vintage goods and find them a good home. She’s a national treasure and I really enjoyed this chat.
Eleanor is a graduate of the University of Akron. We talk about the issues around coming out as non-binary and trans in the current climate in the US.I always have been grateful for Eleanor’s friendship. I hope you enjoy this candid conversation.
Sheldon is a registered nurse in a dialysis clinic in Texas. We discuss the current issues around gun ownership in the US. I always enjoy talking with Sheldon.
James is a percussionist, musician and composer who has a new piece out for solo guitar for the lead guitarist for the doom metal band, YOB. It was a great time chatting about compositional process with James as well as learning a bit more about doom metal.
Abby co-runs LA Percussion Rentals in California with her husband Dan. Abby is a great percussionist and steel drummer and it was great to get to chat with her and get to know her a bit better.
