I've known Randy Carncross for over 25 years. In the late 90s I would go to shows in Buffalo a few times per month. Randy was at every one of those shows. In the early 2000s, Randy played bass for Project Grizzly.
In 2003, Randy relocated to Japan for what was initially supposed to be one year. Randy has now lived in Japan for close to twenty years.
We talked about his experiences in Buffalo and Japan, including his current band Thirsty. We also talk about how Randy turned a hobby of craft beer into a career in Japan. Stick around at the end of the episode to hear the song "Be Happy" from Thirsty.
