Shem von Schroeck - TOTO May 12, 2020

Show notes

Shem grew up in a musical family: his dad, an arranger in New York City… and his mom a professional singer. This motivated him to become not only an expert bass player, but a multi-instrumentalist, music director, solo tenor opera singer, orchestra conductor, and fiction author. The tremendous impact a horse ranch in Idaho had on him… a troubling decision and how he bounced back from it. SUPER cool guy!
