Switching gears a little this week and talking to a more jazz-oriented guest, Mr. Wes Funderburk! As a faculty member of Kennesaw State University and an established composer and performer in Atlanta, Wes has extensive freelance experience and has some great stories to share. He's also just a genuinely funny guy and a joy to talk to, with our conversation spanning from his early inspirational figures and jazz trombone idols to some questionable jokes he shared with an unsuspecting elderly audience... yikes. We hope you find this as entertaining as we did!
