Podcast Chat to Greg in Texas

I was invited to talk to Texas podcaster Greg Shanks for his Pale Blooms And Beyond show the other weekend. So, here I am burbling away about Red Guitars and other musical escapades. Thanks to Greg for the invitation.

I watched a few of his videos, very entertaining and insightful, Paul Trynka and Dave Wolfenden both notably good, so have a click around his channel for more. (Lou)
