For anyone over 18 and who has any interest or especially if you love music, here is our first episode with an Explicit tag and not for the kiddies, but it just flowed naturally that we are releasing it as is (We are running it live).\\xa0 If there are kids in the car with you, you may want to listen to this episode later.

\\xa0

In a long overdue Way Off Our Topic (WOOT) episode, we are joined by a special guest Christian James Hand who has a tremendous way to break down music into its component tracks (also called Stems) during his shows to demonstrate the individual components that are combined into the finished song.\\xa0 Our description does not do justice to his amazing style and presentation that he puts together.\\xa0 If you are even the slightest bit interested in music or ever were, we would hope that you would listen to one of his live shows on Instagram or to one of the podcasts he has and allow Christian to give you one of the greatest gifts that we know of.\\xa0 Christian\'s "The Session" breakdowns give you the ability to hear a song for the first time all over again!

\\xa0

We hope you enjoy the episode!
