I was able to sit down and talk music with Gerry, the host of the Totally Rad Christmas Podcast! Through the episode, he goes over how his musical journey started in school band, then how it took him from being a teenage metal head, to a jazz session guy in college, to an acoustic performer in his current life. He even explains some jazz guitar improv theory for us!

We also talk about some of his favorite gear, which legendary album recording session he would have liked to witness, how 80s songs were drenched in chorus and reverb, among other things. And, he also shares a story of how he barely survived a close encounter with a killer flying cymbal.
