Dave Potter

Today I chat with David Potter who is fantastic jazz musician and drummer. He is a studied musician and can talk about all kinds of music, and his love of music, including pop, which his album Retro Groove 2 is all about. Creating jazz versions of popular music from the 80’s. Songs such as License To Kill by Gladys Knight, Tom Sawyer by Rush, and Rosanna by Toto, to name a few. I like Dave. I think you will too. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jazz Drummer, and all around cool cat, Dave Potter.

Mark Pickerel

You never know where your skills will take you, even if you grow up in a small town that has no real outlet for your creativity. You could start a band that is part of the founding of a movement called Grunge. Mark Pickerel talks about starting The Screaming Trees, drumming with Nirvana, and how life and wisdom has changed him from trying to force the direction of life, to producing his own music and being okay with where his creativity lands, but still doing his best to get the word out about it. Give a listen to one of the founders of Grunge Rock to now a maker of Americana Music. It's a great talk.

This is part 2 of the conversation with Wanz. He'll tell you bout what happened after someone screamed, "We're all gonna die!", to his life after college and the bands he played in, and yes he'll talk about the truly fun and awesome experiences he had singing the hook to the song Thrift Shop all over the world.
