  • It had to happen

    Remember the two of them together the first time on MIW, it was so fun I dreamed of a podcast. Unreal that it happened. My hope is for adventurous guests, unusual players. Dream episode would be Joe Gore and a run through of his amazing pedals. And get him to explain how he got bludgeoning tone to Goin’ Out West.
