This week, I discuss my introduction to becoming a performing musician through the formation of my first band, End Over Aja. This episode introduces you to my sister Jennifer in 1994. But it also brings a whole new cast of characters who would shape my life in myriad ways beyond music.

I talk about the many people who entered my life in the 90s, some of whom are still a big part of it today. But some have slipped away over time. And while that saddens me, the'll always be essential threads in the fabric that makes up the tapestry of my life.

If you enjoy Bear Comes Clean, buy me a coffee. No, seriously. Get out your credit card and send me a buck or twenty. I'll use the money to pay for this podcast's expenses, which are minimal. I promised Halle I'd quit drinking coffee and I don't lie to my sister.
