Legendary guitarist and Guitar Player Magazine's "Superstar of the Year 2011" Mark Kroos took time out from his busy schedule to chat online. Mark is intelligent and charming as his gives insight to life as a touring artist. Mark has legions of fans throughout the United States and abroad.

A fun first meeting with Australian guitarist Ken Cooke. Our businesses are so similar that it makes one realize just how much we are all connected. Gigs, wedding stories, students, etc.   Oh - and a lot of laughing too.

Hanging out online with former student classical guitarist Kirk Redman discussing his efforts in beginning his professional career and just talking shop in general. The Skype gremlins were feeling pretty frisky so the sound quality is a bit shaky, but it's still a very interesting episode. You can learn more about Kirk and hear him play at: kirkredman.com.

In this episode I Skype with singer/songwriter Mary McGuire. We had a lovely time trading stories (she's got some great ones) and just catching up. If you would like to hear her sing or watch her perform just head on over to her website www.marymcguiremusic.com.  You'll be glad you did.

In this episode I'm talking with piano teacher Tanya Ulsh about the change to online lessons due to social distancing. Although we're "talking shop" this is a good episode to listen to for anyone who takes lessons or expect to take lessons in the future. We were talking via Skype and the internet gremlins were a little frisky so please be patient.  If you would like to know more about Tanya I urge you to visit her website www.tanyaspianostudio 

Chris is a talented guitarist and teacher. We've been friends for decades now but I had to beg him to be on this show. It turned out to be a fun time and I'm sure you'll like it too. 

I was lucky to be born into a pretty artistic family. In this episode I'm talking with my niece Holly Ross who is the next generation. Holly is gaining a national reputation as a talented ceremic artist. In this episode we talk about the difficulties of getting started, our shared passion for teaching, and a variety of other things. Please take a moment to visit her website www.holly-ross.com to see some examples of her art and to learn more about my terrific niece.

It's a real treat for me to have Christopher Showerman as a guest. He is a successful, working actor, writer, and producer in Hollywood. But more important to me, I get to call him a friend.  You can find out more about him by visiting www.christophershowerman.com or imdb.com/christophershowerman.  We had a great chat and I think you'll enjoy listening in.

A nice leisurely conversation with Melissa Nott Schmitz in my Lansing studio. We've been friends for a long time, but rarely get to sit and chat anymore. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  Please take a moment to share this with your friends.
