On this episode we were so lucky to chat with percussionist Laura Hamel who works on the A CHRISTMAS STORY tour. We talk a little bit about life on the road with another Pasek and Paul show and what it’s like returning to play for multiple seasons. We also learn a little bit about what life is like on the road with the circus, working with MalletKATs, working on a farm, taking advantage of swing seats, spending Thanksgiving on the road, and one back room international bidding war on a rare set of woodblocks.
