72. Mike Sciulara (Extinction AD/Light the Torch/This is Hell)

What this episode covers

Mike Sciulara is my guest this week. Some of you might know Mike from any of the number of bands he's been in over the years, Endwell/This is Hell/Extinction AD and more recently Light the Torch. Mike and I sat down to discuss how he got into being a music and what lead him to want to play drums initially. What it's been like being a "hired gun" for a lot of bands over the years, and what qualities one needs to possess to be as in demand as he's been over the years. We get into how the Light the Torch gig came about, as well as discussing what Mike has been able to learn from his bandmates in his time in the band. We get into a bit about sports, what it's like being a percussionist for wedding gigs, and some funny stories that come from that job, and a glimpse into Mike's day job of working at an assisted living facility.
