Beau and Randy talk about what sparked their love of music, which bands fueled that fire and some early concert experiences.

Randy Legault is a serious motherfucker when it comes to rock music, owns a video editing company 'Legault Post' and enjoys Beer. He's a good boy, crazy 'bout Elvis. Loves Zeppelin and his lovely wife too. A true defender of the faith with a serious arsenal of knowledge that is fun tapping into.

Beau Shiminsky came out of the womb kicking and screaming and naturally the music bug hit early. By 14 he started a punk band and has turned it to 11 ever since. The love of music lead to a career in Scoring Films and Audio Post-Production at his Studio 'Ear Candy'.
Comfortably numb with a rum and a whole lotta love for Rock N Roll.
