You did all the heavy lifting on this one. I was just a bump on a log to chime in from time to time. This was all you buddy! Plus, Dan knows that he was there to tell stories. He was a professional for sure on this one.

I would recommend this video to people who don’t even list to his music, as his comments about practising and craft were just outstanding!
