Liz and Steph talk with Doug Rosenthal, trombonist, activist and DC Union Representative. In this episode, Doug talks about a personal shift that literally prepared his inner voice for perfroming with confidence! The friends also get into a lively discussion of what union membership SHOULD mean for freelance musicians and why we’re all wrong about what the AFM (American Federation of Musicians) actually is.
