The Michus - An Interview with Ian McGaughey

When teenagers first get musical instruments such as an electric guitar, bass or drums, they naturally form bands with their friends. Typically, such bands might play versions of songs by favorite recording artists and play at parties or other public settings.

This month we're going to explore how a band of just two 13-year-old friends way back in 1983 up in northern New York State made a tape of homemade music that is still being played today.
