Holy crap! The first half of this show was great. I especially enjoyed the Twitter/tech & pop music conversations. Steve seemed to run away with the second half of the show a bit. Don’t get me wrong, he was extremely interesting, but I would’ve liked more Thom in the last 30 minutes.
That’s very kind of you!
Still, it’s not often that we have guests on the podcast, and Steve’s a fascinating man. Seemed a shame not to let him talk
I’d thought I’d heard Steve mention he’d toured with Howard Jones. I’ve seen HJ twice here in New Hampshire in the last four years. I wonder if he was on those tours.
Hi Yedna,
Sorry if I got a bit carried away
I played with Howard back in 99, and only in Europe, so if there was a bassist on those gigs, it wasn’t me.
cheers!
