In this episode we interview the prolific and joyful Howard Stelzer from his home in Western Massachusetts. We get into his development from live performance into the studio, his disdain for "field recordings", and even his super cute puppy makes a guest appearance while crying for us to shut up and give her attention. Please listen to Howard's music because it's so varied and beautiful. musical example citations: (in order of appearance): USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES - IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR MUSIC REMOVED FROM THE PODCAST PLEASE EMAIL US
