  • Great job!

    These guys do a great job. Respectful, friendly, and knowledgeable questions and conversation. And no LA style preening :-). Very easy on the ears.

  • Don Breithaupt

    I’d never heard of Monkey House and the genius of Don B. I haven’t stopped listening to their catalogue since your interview dropped. I haven’t been this stoked about a band in a long long time. My friends and family are now fully introduced to them thanks to you. Keep up the great work guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lee Ritenour
Q: How did you curate the track list to cover decades of your work while keeping the performances fresh?
He explains checking a discography, balancing hits with deeper cuts, and collaborating with the band to reinterpret pieces, plus the practical use of studio and live dynamics to guide selection.
Keith Killgo
Q: What was the process behind Rock Creek Park and Walking In Rhythm, and did you anticipate their impact?
We captured ideas during sessions and live jam energy, then refined them in the studio; we didn't set out to make hits, but the tracks resonated and became enduring parts of our sound.
Keith Killgo
Q: How did your early experiences watching greats like Stan Getz and Miles Davis influence your development as a musician?
They exposed me to high-level musicianship and the importance of groove and timekeeping, shaping my approach to the drums and how I listen to other players; it helped me learn the balance between technique and feeling.
Ed Toth
Q: What led to your move to The Doobie Brothers and how did you adapt to sharing the stage with another drummer?
A memorial context and timing around Keith Knudsen's passing opened the door; Ed auditioned successfully, found it easy to adapt due to his familiarity with the material and his marching-band background, and he contributed to the transition toward a single-drummer format.
Ed Toth
Q: How did the Vertical Horizon gig come about and what was the audition process like?
A chain of serendipitous connections—meeting people from UM, meeting Jason Sutter, and a spillover audition after networking at a show—led Ed to audition, ultimately landing the gig after a two-day audition with multiple candidates.
