I know, it's weird! I'm posting a show on Friday. But I could not wait another week to release this episode; it's just too good. Today, I hang with Brian Christopher Mendes. Brian is a drummer out of Austin, TX and a couple years ago, he had a video he made as a joke go viral. He's been a drummer for more than 30 years, and does tons of session work in the Austin area. He's got a cool story, an amazing sense of humor and some very interesting outlooks on music and drumming. I reached out to Brian and we had one of the coolest conversations. Since we'd never met before, we just talked about all kinds of music stuff as if we were sitting in a bar having a beer. This episode was a lot of fun and it may be one of my personal favorites.
