    Tom has an incredible ability to summarize answers while diving deeper with his interviews. Sam seemed to be so at ease and comfortable sharing with Tom and the world. Great interview, wish it had gone on for longer.

    I gladly join you on your journey. I appreciate and love you and your music. In a way…. Your music is therapy for me. I feel trapped in a shell and sad that I am unable to be who I am.

    Normally I really struggle with Tom Power taking up too much space in his interviews, but this was a really nice one. He had the balance right. Well done.
