In this episode, Deirdre ask's J.J. some of the same guitar-nerd questions he gets asked after gigs. JUMBO TONE that DRIBBLES! 

OOOPSS: at the 7:00min mark the guitar/bass signal got cut out during the demo on the Boss OC-3. JJ will talk more about that in Part-2. We are sorry for any inconvenience this carless error may have caused you or your loved ones. 

In this episode Deirdre discusses the advantages and disadvantages of working with multiple drummers over the last year, having integrity for your band and her knowledge of Neural Synopsis connections...which is limited. 

In this episode Deirdre talks about upcoming shows and her encounter with a homeless man while on stage in Denver.

This episode features a portion of the conversation JJ and Deirdre had with Zachary Herberholz of ZH Fabrications. 

"I believe the underlying theme of my work is pursuing ideas and creativity regardless of the medium. I often find myself shuffling between fabrication, blacksmithing, woodworking, leatherwork, and sandwich making."
- Zachary Herberholz
