Hello Brian,
I recently discovered your great interviewing style and excellent interviews on Youtube with many musicians that I admire greatly. I find you are one of the best interviewers. Your calm, researched and respectful interviewing style is a lost art-form in this hyperactive, celebrity-seeking-status, social networking digital age. I love how you let the artists tell the stories, based on great questions, without interrupting them, like many on-air and podcast personalities. You have a lot of grace and style, Brian.
I am from Hull, Quebec, Canada, and love Canadian rock artists such as: Triumph; Rik Emmett; Rush; Honeymoon Suite (very underestimated band); April Wine; Max Webster; Kim Mitchell; Helix; Harem Scarem; et cetera. I would love to hear an interview of yours with Rik Emmett and Gil Moore of Triumph.
I am also a big Judas Priest, Scorpions, Journey, Michael Schenker, Yes, Trevor Rabin and Europe fan; and therefore, would love to hear your interviewing a key member of these bands or artists.
Keep-up your excellent work and be true to your classy interviewing style.
Sincerely,
Frank
