The Dida ShowWorking Through Deep Shit with Joe Strasser. tw: addiction, alcoholismThis episode is exactly the reason I do this radio show. Getting to sit with one of the best drummers in the world, Joe Strasser, and talking openly about things personal to us and our music. Our convo dipped into deep stuff about addiction and alcoholism- the lies, denial, rehab, sobriety, and falling in love with music again. Thank you Joe for being so open. Go listen to Joe every Monday at 11 street bar & look out for his new jazz club coming soon, 'One Flight Up'.
