Brilliant composer Dana Wilson is one of a kind!  In addition, he is one of the kindest guests we have ever had on the podcast.  Dana has written for soloists from the Chicago Symphony and also music for young band.  Peter, Phil, and Chris try to keep up with our guest and as expected fall well short in that pursuit.  Peter can barely get out of his bed for the podcast, Chris is still in a daze from the Packer game and Phil stumbles through random thoughts disguised as questions.  Speaking of needless questions – why would our few commuter listeners be interested in Martians?  Yeah, our commuter is probably not interested.  Dana Wilson is definitely interesting, though – listen to his thoughts about young composers, having a unique voice and “taking the gig.”
