Wheel Spun Stuck Atop

I want to thank friend of the proGram, Jake Shimabukuro for returning to the show to discuss his upcoming show at the Barrymore. He and I played a little catch up and then we dove into the difference in this show: a accompanying bass player and the recently purchased Bari-Ukulele. We talked about how his approach has been since his first album as well as what was in store for a new release Spring 2015. We also dissected his interpretation of the epically recoGnizable Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and how he almost couldn’t get the sound he desired, and he is still considering that tune a work-in-proGress. There was a spinning musical wheel as well for the second half of the show:

Birdbath is the Word

I want to thank Alex Skolnick for being a guest during the second half of the proGram. We talked nothing about his band, Testament, because our time was spent talking about his newest project, Planetary Coalition. Alex is a very cool cat and our conversation about the collaborative spirit of this project took shape with vivid images of how the toGetherness of all was considered greatly in the making. Alex is a sound chameleon, and his time with Rodrigo y Gabriela proved a great beGinning to an around the worldly project. Here are my chosen sounds to go along:

I want to thank Alma for being a guest during the first half of the proGram. Her beautifully soulful voice was a welcomed freshness to the show.
