N: How did you link up with Will (Swan)?

S: “I filled in for Hail the Sun on the Rock Yourself To Sleep Tour. That was probably the first time we met. I did a lot of tech work for DGD on the road as well. Eventually I was so involved that their mngr asked me to be on the bus.”

N: Am I correct in saying that you started the Blue Swan Broadcast?
