it's amazing what you can learn
just by sitting down and talking with someone.

In addition to the gigs I've been to, I've had the distinct pleasure of speaking with and interviewing some intriguing characters of the music world in 2009. The best parts of an interview? Hearing about the music-making process (usually accompanied by wide-eyed wonderment from the musicians involved). And then finding out they're just like us - and love music.
