interviews

Over the last several years, I've had the opportunity to interview and meet many different recording artists, some of them ones I would label as "idols." Here is a list of some of the better known folks I've interviewed (on the phone or in person) or met (and met doesn't mean brushing past them -- it means having had a casual conversation that just didn't qualify as an interview)... Interview transcripts are available upon request.

There are links to some interviews (articles, transcriptions and Real Audio files) with more on the way before too long. In addition, each interview has it's own little quirks that I mention as well... I have the damndest luck with batteries.
