Merlin talks with John Roderick, the singer and songwriter for “The Long Winters” (and the man behind The Merlin Show’s theme song, “Blue Diamonds”). John and Merlin discuss string art, learning how to play guitar, and the surprising achievability of most people’s dreams.

Have to say: my favorite episode of the show yet.

Extensive show notes include links to string art, stripper heels, plus the chords to an excellent Def Leppard song.
