Show - 008 NAMM - What's there and why are we going?
/Rita & CW on day 1 of NAMM
In this show, we will be playing quick interviews from many different rock and roll merchants and a few rock stars that were brought in to endorse products We try and give you a tiny taste of what the NAMM convention is, and what goes on inside. NAMM is the National Association of Music Merchants and it the main convention comes together once a year in Anaheim. The point…is for merchants to display their new items and for buyers, musicians and many others to take a look at what is new.
You will notice a lot of the audio is very raw. It’s because we weren’t in our normal “studio”, and during NAMM we have the ambiance of the show room floor. Keep in mind, there are 50,000 thousand people attending, every booth is a demonstration of an instrument. And every instrument makes a noise.
Also, most of these interviews are under 5 minutes, we didn’t stay with our normal programming of asking our guest their confession nor did we ask them Bonus round questions. But many of these guests will be upcoming full length guests and we will get into much more detail of their musical career on a later show.
