  • Appreciate the sentiment

    Sometimes the conversation stays in compliment-and-agreement mode, and I find myself wishing for more follow-ups and technical/creative depth. It’s apparent that Daniel cares about the community and makes guests comfortable, but going a little deeper would make the show all the better. More specifics about arrangements and in depth technique stuff would be great. Excited to keep listening and see how it might grow.
