    Episode 11 with John Thomakos
    Jan 2 2023
    Happy New Year!!! Mr John Thomakos in the house for our first episode of 2023. We are filing this under "the most self depricating interview" column and best dead pan. Aside from that, there's a reason why John is the first call for many in town. He's a total servant to the music and the song. As a musician, that's the best thing you can be. Having "local" guys like John give hacks like myself the opportunity to enjoy and learn mor about drums and music. Check out the links below to get an idea of what John's musicality is all about. Enjoy!

    Drummer, singer and bass player (didn't cover that topic) Mr. Ricky Wise is my guest for this week's installment. Supreme talented in all areas and a wonderful human to boot! We discuss KISS, Elvis, Rival Sons and I didn't realize how much in common musically I had with him, especially with things related to singers. If you're in Baltimore and want to play late o a school night, pop in to The Admiral's Cup in Fells Point every Monday to see him. Sign up for more information on his website and see the links below for that and some of his music. Enjoy!
