Millisa gives us some insight into her musical influences as well as how the COVID pandemic has impacted her career and what musical projects she's working on. We also discuss the importance of humility and that as a musician you never stop learning the instrument. Join us for some laughs and good times!

I decided to record another impromptu bonus episode of the podcast. I talk about the importance of the record 5150 and how the Van " Hagar" era of Van Halen records changed my life as a musician. There's also some random off topic discussions during this episode. Recording this episode was pretty emotional for me. it's hard to lose a person who impacts you even though you don't know them personally. I also end up talking about my acoustic arrangement of the title track of 5150.
I dedicate this episode in loving memory of EDDIE VAN HALEN. May you shed in the sky!
