Jamie Bonk | “No Tuition”: Episode #6 – Interview With Peter Janson

It’s been a year since the release of the last “No Tuition” interview and I’m happy to be back talking with guitarist/composer Peter Janson.  Peter’s one of the finest contemporary fingerstyle acoustic guitarists playing today and, as you’ll see in our interview, a terrific story teller as well!

Jamie Bonk | “No Tuition”| Episode #4 – Interview With Ron Scott

Episode #4 of “No Tuition” features musician/painter Ron Scott. We chatted about Ron’s artwork, his compositional process, his love of looping and his work on TV shows such as “Corner Gas” and “Antique Roadshow”. Ron was kind enough to perform a number of examples of how he uses his looper in a live performance setting. Even though I’ve known Ron for over 20 years, this interview gave me a deeper insight into both his music and his painting.
