For this episode I talk briefly about my new musical equipment purchases. I also talk about starting a surf rock band with my sister and co-worker/friend. Then play a song where I used a homemade electronic drum set.
After that I’m joined by Frank Meyers on Skype, the author of History of Japanese Electric guitars! Frank shares his experiences of writing the book and talks about his own guitar addiction. Frank traveled to Japan and met the people responsible for crafting his very first guitar and talked to a bunch of amazing people along the way!
I close the episode with a song by the 90s cult indie rock group, The Excitables (coming soon to Anthill Recordings)

I very much enjoyed your interview with Frank Meyers. I have read his book but it was fun to learn a few more tidbits of information, right from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I've been haunting Craigslist for the past year buying some old Japanese guitars and it's a fun adventure.
