Here’s something a little bit different! Episode 8 is a presentation of my research on the link between drum corps (and DCI) and marching band!

I'm super stoked about this one! I've recently joined up with a new group, and I got to sit down with them, eat cookies, and talk shop a little bit. If you dig our music, I think you'll dig our chat too. I do want to warn listeners that this particular episode has some colourful language. In the spirit of posting the real deal, I don't want to censor or alter the conversation, but I do want to have that disclaimer in case anyone in listenerville would be offended or might listen in the company of those who are sensitive to harsh language.

Marissa and I sit outside and discuss things such as theatre, training, some good shows, and of course (and obviously) joy nuggets! We're huge comedy fans, so you hear a bit of that in the conversation, but she has some nice insight about how it is working with musicians and being around music, but not being a 'professional musician' (what does that mean, anyway?). It was a good time in a lovely, albeit sneezy place in Houston.

John talks with Joe about viola, having a side hustle and how to properly react to exquisite harmony!

John has a pow-wow with some great guys! The Karl brothers (Sans Drew from episode 2) and Ben Miller talk about gigging, music, being in a band, and silly organ sounds!

John is privileged to sit down with the lovely Stephenie Sofield to talk (remotely) a little bit about indoor and a lot about music therapy! She's awesome!

John talks with Drew about song-writing, inspiration, John Denver, and other intellectual and existential things!

Drew will definitely be on again!
