Wow, just watched your podcast with Jake Boldman STX #6 - Very Informative! I’m a 67 year old career drum corps guy, who also plays trumpet, and really enjoyed the podcast. Glad you’re doing this!

First of all, thank you for interview with Frank Klepacki STX #5, that was really cool conversation with unusual and unanswered questions which are now answered clearly. I emphazise this, you are a professional interviewer, that means a lot, that keeps people interested. Second, I love your work with trombone mixed with electronic music.
