Joining me this week on the podcast is the one and only Michael Cartellone of Damn Yankees! Oh, and also a world-renowned artist and current drummer for the legendary group Lynyrd Skynyrd! This interview is one for the history books! We talked for over two and a half hours! All the details are here! We start off with Michael’s upbringing in Ohio, then his move to the Big Apple to follow his dreams! We discuss some of his cool day jobs, his first break into the music business, and then landing the drumming gig with Tommy Shaw from Styx! And in Part 1, we get into the formation of Damn Yankees! Was Jack the first bass player in DY? Listen and find out!
