A great conversation with the amazing Ty Streibel. Ty is a stringed instrument repair guru and owner/founder of the very cool vinyl record filled stringed instrument repair and consignment shop, Old Towne Strings on La Crosse’s North Side. Ty was kind enough to take an hour away from repairing instruments and sorting vinyl to allow me to ask a ton of questions about stringed instrument repair and what he learned in process of starting his own business.

A great conversation with an incredibly talented musician, audio engineer and producer Jacques Wait. I met Jacques more than 15 years ago when he engineered a Rearview Mirror album and remember having an immediate fondness for his sense of humor and deep respect for his musicianship and recording knowledge. Jacques continues to record and produce records both in the Minneapolis area and beyond as well as playing in a variety of groups, currently including The Twilight Hours, Iguano, and the Boot.

A great conversation with musician Tom Kammer. I met Tom more than 20 years ago when I started playing in a band, Rearview Mirror, with his son, TJ. At that point Tom had been playing drums for nearly his entire life after getting his first drum kit at the age of 7 and performing live at the age of 10, and thus had a lot of great insight and advice to offer to us as young band starting out based on his years of experience in the business. It was a great pleasure to get to learn more details of Tom’s musical history, hear some great stories from his touring days, and most importantly to discuss the way playing music can facilitate deep personal connections that last a lifetime.
