Cris Cohen: A lot of what you do is in support of guitar solos. Not just with this band, You've also worked with the Steve Lukather. So obviously you're a drummer who guitarists are very comfortable with. But that brings up the question, what's the key to playing under a guitar solo?

Mike Vanderhule, drummer for Y&T: I've always played R&B, soul, and jazz. And I was a trumpet player most of my childhood -- second grade to senior in high school -- while I was playing drums. So I know how it works in a band and who to listen to. Just be aware of backing up a solo and the expression of where they're going with it. Rock and roll is more planned out. But at home I play with a lot of blues guys where we'll show up without any rehearsal and just work off each other. So you just have to have huge ears and play with some dynamics. And what I got from listening to The Beatles and Alex Van Halen, give them a lot of that fire extinguisher sound out of your ride. Some guitar players love that wash.

Scott Terry of clients Red Wanting Blue: The song "Goliath" is an emotional battle. No one likes a bully. And so many people feel like they are being bullied. Maybe by an individual, maybe by technology, maybe by a big corporation. So many are fighting against a larger foe. 
We're a rock and roll band that's always felt like an underdog fighting against the odds. We will drive through the night. We will get less sleep. We will do whatever we have to do to show that we can stand shoulder to shoulder with whoever is out there. 

​I interviewed singer-songwriter Stephanie Sammons. We discussed:

• Her new album, "Time and Evolution"
• The challenge of being an empath and a songwriter
• Studying with Jonatha Brooke
• "I have a runnning list of interesting observations, things that move me, things that resonate with me"
• The lyric "I don't want to die, but I don't want to live like this"
• And more
