Welcome back after a 2 year hiatus! In today&#39;s episode of MCP, my friends John and Michael talk about gigging, mentorship, and passion projects. It&#39;s a great episode, so give it a listen and a share!#makemusicyours Note: We had some issues with our audio recording and ended up having to use the scratch audio we were thankfully able to record. We&#39;ll have it all taken care of in the next episode.
