Through a connection with my last guest, Luis Malbas, I got to have a great conversation with Mike Sloat of mikesloat.com. He is a video producer and has produced videos for many musicians, non-profits, elearning events, and for food, wine, and beverage vendors. Mike has a rich history in music and it shows as we discuss first guitars, being a luthier, and the music industry from the video side. Join us for a great conversation! Mike’s Contact Info

Luis Malbas and I met about 5 years ago in the professional field of Learning and Development and through this meeting, we also discovered that we share a love for playing and listening to music. So, the next natural move was to have him on as a guest and get the full story of his history. I was not let down! An accomplished musician and a shining light in the world of Learning and Development, Luis and I talk house parties, punk rock, and 'not' learning the piano.

Today I get to talk with a long-time friend of the podcast, Pete Pardo of Sea of Tranquility. We talk about his transition from writing about all things rock into the world of webzines and ultimately a thriving YouTube community. There were some great guitar discussions and get his input on physical media when it comes to music. It is a great episode with some amazing insight to Pete and the world of rock and prog music!

In this episode, Brent Schlenker and I start a series on 80's pop songs covered in (mostly) rock or metal. Brent started us of with a great one in the 1988 hit by Roxette, "The Look". There are some very interesting covers of this song and I followed Brent down his rat hole to see how each band put their mark on this song.

Welcome to Music Musing! My name is Craig Sybert and my brother George Sybert and I co-host this podcast. George and I would frequently call each other and throw out a conversation title and ramble on for 45 minutes or so, sometimes taking tangents and sometimes staying focused on the subject. The podcast idea started after a call to my brother with the statement “Is Boston the best rock band ever?”. After our conversation, I got the idea to start recording these conversations and share them with the world. I had a background in voice over work and audio editing, so it was a natural progression. We are rock and metal guys, but we were also brought up listening to folk, disco, and gospel. Our first few episodes were a little rough on the quality, but stick with it, they get much better!
We are not looking to make money off this podcast, but we do offer a Patreon if you want to help us with the day to day expenses like recording equipment or platform costs. The Patreon is patreon.com/musicmusing What we really want is your interaction. We love to talk music and that doesn’t stop at us, we like to hear all opinions and input. Email us at musicmusingfeedback@gmail.com. We also love to hear show ideas and guest suggestions as well!
Lastly, please leave us a review on whatever platform you listen to our podcast on. There are a lot of podcasts out there and to get ours out into the mix, we need reviews so that others who will appreciate it can find it easily.
You can find us on:
Twitter at @MusicMusing_
Instagram at music_musing
On our home page, musicmusing.libsyn.com
You can also find us on YouTube and pretty much any other platform where you find podcasts. If we missed your favorite, let us know and we will get it out there.
Thank you again for your time and we hope you like this podcast!
