We're joined this week by the hilarious and talented (hilariously talented?) Morris Palter.  His contributions to the modern rep of percussion are numerous, and his approach to work, hard work, and dedication are welcome and needed.

He's currently teaching at the University of Arizona after building a great program at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
