Robert Goetz - BAM Cases: Strongest, lightest guitar cases, period. Guaranteed For LIFE - Everyone Loves Guitar Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

Robert Goetz was a successful CFO of an international plastics company, but decided to follow his heart and take over his family business, BAM Cases. BAM has been the world's most innovative instrument case manufacturer for over 40 years, and Robert has really taken the company to the next level over the last 10 years since he's been in charge.

Really cool stories about how the company started and his family's 150 years in the music industry, inside secrets behind how BAM's cases are so light and how they offer such great protection, why you can throw the case in a swimming pool without getting your guitar wet, little details BAM considers that other case manufacturers completely ignore... BAM's unique and proprietary tracking device which monitors location, temperature and humidity - no matter where you are or how far your guitar might be away from you - even across the world. Being an optimist vs. being too optimistic, most important lessons learned, more. Great guy who really cares about his employees and his customers and has made some hard decisions to be consistent with this philosophy.

Michael Manring - Everyone Loves Guitar Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

Michael Manring is one of THE most passionate players I've ever met, and in fact, passion is the driving factor in pretty much everything he does. Stories about leaving Berklee early - with their blessing… playing with Henry Kaiser, Michael Hedges, Alex Skolnick… the dark side of touring solo all over the world, the upside of being a misfit, integrity, compassion, responsibility… becoming more accepting, his obsessions, and much more. Incredibly honest interview with a very warm soul.

In a world where people say they are "different," Michael is truly a different player. The way he plays bass, and the way he hears bass guitar is unlike anyone I've ever seen or heard. A solo artist who'd released 7 solo LPs of his own, played with Michael Hedges for years, was part of the Wyndham Hill house band, and has played on hundreds of stages all over the world and on hundreds of records.
