Hey Peter. Yo, don't play this.

But do play this.

But do play this.

Yeah, you got it, I guess. I'm Adam Manus.

And I'm Peter Martin, and you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast.

Advice and inspiration for music and for life coming at you. Oh, it was three ways that time. And for life. Yes, it was my liege. A fanciful. Yeah. Well, today we are talking about a new series that we're starting called Play This, Not That. It's kind of like this old, like New Yorker-ish, eat this, not that kind of vibe.
