Episode #59 with Andy Fairweather Low
Q: How do you feel being referred to as a sideman, and what does that mean to you?
I think that about something. I'm a round peg and a round hole. You know, it's like in a football team, you need a goalkeeper, and I'm the goalkeeper.
Episode #56 with Mark "Springo" Spring
Q: So where did that manifest for you? What was the beginning of all that?
I was in high school and I wanted a new job, so I went to a lighting company because I knew how to do lights.
