Feb 21, 2020

A weekend warrior working musician hailing from the frozen tundra of Calgary, Alberta, guitarist Ron Klimek got his first taste of being part of a band on local television. This started him down the path of more bands, more opportunities, eventually leading him…here. With me. A neighbor, a friend, and now bandmate in our new endeavor, R2V, Ron sits down with me to test some new equipment and talk about how he got to where he is and what he sees in the miles ahead. Hope you enjoy.

Episode Highlights

We start by talking about the new podcast set-up before digging into:

  • The difference between the full-time and part-time musician
