Our first musician picks up the Blind Shovel, this one with my dear friend and prodigious drummer Ian Meltzer. We discuss life on tour, Ian's relationship to the drums, and the project Valley Boy.

Ian is a producer and musician based in Los Angeles, to hear him at his finest listen to Valley Boy's "Thursday Friday" album. To see him at his finest check out his cameos on Star Trek Voyager, Dexter and The Hughleys.
