This is the first episode recorded with a Zoom H5 at Sweet Eugene's Coffee Shop in College Station (background noise, clanking dishes, table bumps and all!).

Jorge tells me a little about his trip to Spain, customer service, seeing Iron Maiden in Madrid, what music he's made recently, the art project that compliments the music, and his thoughts on Monster Boners (one of the songs included in the 8 EPs he's produced since January!).

About two thirds the way through (at 18:45) we play "Monster Boners" and talk about the music and other sensitive subjects.

An interesting first episode for sure!!

Next week, I’ll be speaking with Mikaila Palm who just started up Ambiance Magazine. There’s a lot of music and art in this woman’s life! Make sure you follow the podcast so you don’t miss it!

Music at the show opening and closing is "Floor Kisser" by Me. Extinct:

Coffee and baked goods by Sweet Eugene's Coffee Shop, College Station, TX

In this episode I tell you what we're doing here.... Give it a listen!

Mic Check, Please is part therapy, part mixtape, and all heart. I’ll be sitting down with musicians, artists, and the people who orbit those creative spaces to talk about how they make what they make, and why it matters.

The common thread in every episode will be music. SO, if you love music like I do, play music (most likely better than I do), or have even a passing interest in music-related things, this show might just be a good fit for you.

Go ahead… follow the show…. so you don’t miss it!

Mic Check, Please is recorded on location and produced independently — usually with caffeine, and always with no budget.

Thanks for checking out Mic Check, Please.

Come back and join us. Coffee’s on me. Talk soon!
