Over the Summer, State of Mind Music asked me to interview Yonder Mountain String Band's Ben Kaufmann. The resulting Conversation was an open, honest, and sometimes silly look at what makes the Bass Player tick these days. It was a fun chat that took some unexpected twists & turns, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed wrangling it! PART ONE http://www.stateofmindmusic.com
