The DLR Cast - Episode 54: Interview with Violinist/Musician Melissa Reiner (Part 1)

This week, in part 1 of a 2-part interview, Darren talks with violinist extraordinare Melissa Reiner. Melissa played on songs heard in the David Lee Roth's "No Holds Bar-B-Que" film, as well as appearing on-camera. There's some great stories about working with Dave, his work ethic, the other musicians she played with on the project, being on the film set, and how she almost got fired from the gig and much more!

At the top, Darren and Steve ruminate on what's not happening with Dave and what is with Sammy Hagar. Plus, a review of a recently uploaded Diamond Dave show at YouTube from 1994, featuring 8 songs from the "Your Filthy Little Mouth" album. Plus, a DLR mystery solved...?
