Episode 326- Mike Keneally

Our next guest quite frankly, is a brilliant multi instrumentalist. a musician from the age of seven, he has never wavered from his strong desire to create. The first time I saw him was when he was holding the moniker of “Stunt Guitarist” in Frank Zappa’s band and I was struck by his playing and moreover how his tone stuck out in the most wonderful way through Frank’s amazing compositions. I have waited this long to ask him to grace us with an interview, because I wanted an audience big enough to do him justice, so 10 years in, he is here today. Please welcome to GRS Mr. Mike Keneally
