(Don"t) Quit Your Day Job

Did you move to LA in the 80"s to make it on Sunset Strip? There are many stories about making music for a living. Sometimes you need a day job and sometimes you play the worst gig.

There are funny and enlightening stories out there, so I started a podcast to tell these stories.
