Great interview. I saw almost every TSOL show for the first couple years they existed. Went to high school with Mike and we were roommates during the bands earliest inception. Crazy times. If you are reading this I hope you are doing well Mike.

Glad to see Mike doing well. Very fortunate that I was able to see him play with T.S.O.L at the Palladium in ‘21.

Sweet! I love Mike's playing in T.S.O.L. His book was great, I just wish it were longer! He was always their secret weapon imo.
