Do you know what I liked about him? How well he respected you guys. He often asked if you guys were familiar with something or had done it yourselves. He stayed aware that not everyone had the same experiences that he did, tailoring his responses to that. Not everyone does that in an interview. :thu:

Yep great point, it really made an impression on me during the interview. Really nice and inclusive guy :thu:

Every time I hear his name though, I think he's a pro wrestler! It's probably because of that famous 80s (?) wrestler, Rowdy Roddy Piper! :roll:

 

I've not followed FNM though I heard the songs that were on radio back in the day. I asked Apple Music to play the FNM Essentials playlist and have been surprised to hear how many of the tunes sounded familiar, even "Easy." What surprises me though is the singers. I need to look up the history of that. That's the kind of thing I always dug into with bands, member changes over history and albums. One of my favorite things in a Rock and Roll Encyclopedia is the charts for a band like Yes (which got more complicated after the last time I saw that book). I prefer it on Wikipedia when a band's entry has that horizontal bar graph of band members. Check out the one for Tower of Power. (I'm always disappointed when they have a table with dates instead.)

 

Anyway, nice job with another show! I'm learning stuff. :)

And THAT is what makes it worthwhile :)
