Greg Leisz: "I'm more grateful for what I have..."

On this Greg Leisz interview, how playing with artists like Dave Alvin, k.d. Lang, Matthew Sweet, Bill Frisell, Charles Lloyd & others, helped shape his career… Greg didn't get into playing as a session player till he was nearly in his 40's and he shares why he "stuck it out"... Playing with Jackson Browne, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, Ted Hawkins, Joe Walsh, Keith Richards, Emmylou Harris, Linda Rondstadt, Joni Mitchell, Brian Blade, his weirdest gig ever (for a nudist colony!)... Understanding his own abilities, getting out of his comfort zone, Peru, maintaining your sense of wonder, and loads more.
