Episode 78: Dave Schloss

Dave Schloss is a son and a brother and a husband, and a father. He's an entrepreneur, a killer ice-hockey teammate, and he once had the pleasure of calling me his next-door neighbor.

Dave, and his wife, Anna, made career pivots and left their beloved Chicago life for some adulthood in Kansas City, going from downtown to midtown to the north town while they were here, but've recently found themselves enjoying a healthy dose of island time down in the the ol' Sunshine State.

Their crew was back in town for a bit to relax and hang with family, and I was lucky enough to steal a couple of hours with him to record Episode #78.

In our conversation, we talked about family and band life and school and, of course, a few of Dave's favorite albums.

They were these:

• Honky Chateau (1972), Elton John

• The Specials's self-titled (1979)

• Dookie (1994), Green Day

• Wilco's Summerteeth (1999)

• Continuum (2006), John Mayer

Pleased as punch that Dave made the time. Thank you, my friend. And thank you, Mrs. Schlanderson!
