Published: Sept. 9, 2020, midnight

\u201cEddie Van Halen\u2026he never did anything that didn\u2019t sound like EVH. His voice was so unique.\u201d \u2013 Jimmy Griffin on Conversations with Calcaterra\n\n\u201cHe\u2019s the Bill Murray of guitar players.\u201d \u2013 Eric Grossman about Eddie Van Halen randomly hanging out with fans. (Conversations with Calcaterra)\n\n\u201cDirty faced kid in a garbage can\u2026I was like, Oh. I want to be that.\u201d \u2013 Jimmy Griffin on the Van Halen song D.O.A. (Conversations with Calcaterra)\n\n\u201cMy band like my bass playing but honestly nobody gave a shit about bass players back then (1980s)...I don\u2019t know if anybody gives a shit about bass players now!\u201d \u2013 Eric Grossman on Conversations with Calcaterra\n\nNot every generation has an icon which drastically changes their chosen field. I am lucky to have experienced the music of Eddie Van Halen from an early age. My guests were moved by Eddie to learn their instruments and to perform at a high level. We are all feeling the loss of one of heroes and it\u2019s therapeutic to talk about it. I am joined by three friends who are musicians who have traveled the world performing to the masses. We share our love for Eddie and the art he created.\n\n\n\nVisit Ken @ www.kencalcaterra.com and on various social media outlets and please share and comment on this episode.
