Mon, 7 April 2008 Beautiful Bass podcast turns into a round-table called the Bull Schmidt Gang with a group of fellow bass-heads - Trip Wamsley, Tom Shad, Gustav, Jay Terrien & Jeff Schmidt. In formal chat with copious amounts of profanity and childish behavior. This episode much more closely resembles what it sounds like when we're all hanging out having beers than a typical formal interview "SHOW". Which is exactly what I hoped for. You may or may not learn anything - but at least you can come hang with the gang! enjoy --jeff Comments[2] |
