Nice to hear Richard Inman. Just watched a Facebook Live show of Richard and Amber Nielsen (from Sweet Alibi) a week or so ago. Purchased Richard's latest album digitally on Bandcamp immediately after the show. Some beautiful writing and a great voice.

He spoke to something that was already inside of me. He only asked a couple of questions given his years of doing interviewers. That and I talk more and faster when I’m nervous and I was certainly that. Chopper picked up on that and set me to rest by telling me about the other people and performers who not only perform, but whose performances contribute to the vibrancy of the city.
