S3E06 - Andrew Swackhamer

Today I have another conversation recorded in New York earlier this year, with Andrew Swackhamer – self proclaimed ukulele wizard, and all-round gorgeous human.  He appeared at the door of my hotel room carrying a ukulele and a gift of chocolate, and I immediately knew we were going to have a great chat!  I hope you enjoy it too.
