Nice spot - great music, I'm impressed by the interviewee's attitude towards all that happened. Keep the music flowin' brother!!
Anyone interested in the ablbum - PLEASE look for Troutband on itunes or at CDbaby.com - Amazon is WAY overpriced! :-)
two of my favorites in one piece, Studio 360 and the amazing Rick Richter! Best of luck to you.
