How do you find focus while life keeps rushing by in all its chaos? How do you keep learning fun and, moreover, interesting? And how valuable is it to make music with real friends? These are just a few topics that came up in the conversation I recently had with Richard Henshall, the guitarist of the fantastic British prog rock band Haken. Richard also releases albums as a solo artist—music I personally treasure as beautiful, interesting, surprising, and simply very well produced.Every time I bring a guitarist in front of the microphone for this podcast series, I realize how grateful I am that they take the time for a conversation. Each time I learn something new. And each time I meet interesting, talented, and very kind people. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed the conversation.
