On this week's episode of The Music is Win Podcast, I had the pleasure to sit down with blues royalty, Boscoe France, at the Experience PRS event this summer. Boscoe is not only an extremely humble guy and extraordinary guitar player (I've found that combination a lot during my travels), he's also a master storyteller. From tales of twice-bought guitars to the reason he always plays live shows in bare feet, you'll love this awesome and authentic bluesman who's as kind as he is good at ripping the ax.If you'd rather watch The Music is Win Podcast, make sure to subscribe on YouTube.

Adam Neely

To say Adam Neely is smart is actually an understatement. Tackling subjects from Infrasound to Synesthesia to Negative Harmony, and everything in between (and... beyond), Adam sees his YouTubecareer as a justification for research that most wouldn't ever do. In our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the pros and cons of attending a school like Berklee College of Music, of which we are both alums, find the balance between practicing and being creative, and decide what music theory really means to musicians in the real world, along with so much more. Adam is an awesome friend and multi-talented composer, bassist, and musician. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.For those of you who prefer video podcasts, you can watch The Music is Win Podcast on YouTube (http://youtube.com/musiciswin).

Phil McKnight

In this episode of The Music is Win Podcast, I chat with the all-knowing gear guru Phillip McKnight. Now that my early April Fools joke has made its rounds, I can assume you've heard my treasured PRS SC245, "Baby", is safely back in my possession. It was part of Phil's latest episode of "Sharpen My Axe", a series where Phil takes a guitar from one of his lucky subscribers and tricks it out. I didn't want to take up one of these coveted positions in place of a loyal fan, so I offered to pay to have my guitar worked on, but PRS Guitars ended up sponsoring the video (thanks, Jeanne!) and Phil recommended I donate to my favorite charity instead of paying him for his effort, so I donated to an awesome organization called Guitars for Vets.  For those of you who prefer video podcasts, you can watch The Music is Win Podcast on YouTube (http://youtube.com/musiciswin).
