Notes
A brief interview with one of the coolest dudes I have ever known in this wild and crazy business of music….the legendary John Oates.

As you can clearly see here, just a lovely laid back fella, with a great sense of humor and a shitload of talent.
What’s not to love?

Hope you kids enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed chatting it up with him
