Episode 34 Brad Olson - Part 2 : The Excerpt : Kyle

CW: Substance Abuse

Ep 34: Part 2 (the excerpt)

Sometimes interviews go in a different direction and don't necessarily fit with a regular episode.  This excerpt from my January 4th interview with Brad Olson where we talk about Kyle and his passing. I (sven) didn't know Kyle, but after hearing all of the great things about him. I really wish that I had. Fortunately, he has friends that will always love him dearly and we will always have the music that he made with Neoga Blacksmith. His talent some will describe as "like an Olympic gymnast..." doing the impossible, but making it look so easy. Kyle was like that with music.  

Brad, thank you for talking about Kyle with me and sharing your experiences.

The cover is from the Neoga Blacksmith album: Chronontonius the last album that Kyle played on and is dedicated to him.
