Third Coast Percussion Executive Director and performer David Skidmore stops by to talk about TCP’s early years, how they booked gigs in the early days and finding their current Chicago home (05:00), becoming a non-profit, their Artist-in-Residence Program and getting more administrative help for the group (24:30), the camaraderie among the members and the membership change that occurred in 2013 (34:00), growing up (mostly) in North Texas, getting into percussion early on, his marching band experiences, and his competitive swimming career (39:25), attending Northwestern University (IL), studying with Michael Burritt and meeting the other future members of the group, studying with Robert Van Sice at Yale University (CT), and living in New York City (51:00), and finishing with the Random Ass Questions, including segments on looking outside of the standard western canon of music, expanding their reach as artists, great Chicago food, David’s version of the Yoga Festival story, and Zakir Hussain (01:11:00).

Finishing with a Rave on a live performance of The Mavericks and Dwight Yoakam (01:35:25).
