  • Eric Skye Part 2

    Hi Jamie. Enjoyed your interview with Eric. You focused on his early development but not much about his years in Portland, his jazz interpre-

    tations, his work with Santa Cruz or his internet productions. Could you get him back and pick up where you left off? Would love to hear more as you both have a strong connection that comes through in your interview.

Ep. 3: Grant Gordy
Q: How did you learn to play the guitar as a self-taught musician?
He learned by ear, often transcribing music without the use of books or lessons, focusing instead on sound and feeling.
