  • Musicians interviewed by a musician! Listen to this.

    First thing. The guy Squires is a great interviewer. He knows how to hang with the musicians and seems to ask questions they do not always get. Not gotcha or shockers but relationship building questions. The music part of the Riffs is always fun too. What will they do?
