James and Beth call drummer Jason Smay to talk about a variety of topics including playing with JD McPherson (and a great Robert Plant story from when they toured with him), Los Straitjackets, The Hi-Risers and The Hi-Jivers.  We also talk about his son McKinley James and his rising star plus family life, The Beatles (and Ringo in particular), if his mask-wearing days with Los Straitjackets helped prepare him for quarantine life and more!
