Welcome to the Instrumentals of Rock podcast.  This is episode #1.   This first podcast is part of my Then and Now episodes where I'll go back to interviews from a syndicated radio show I did in the mid-nineties that was called, not surprisingly, The Instrumentals of Rock.   This interview I did with Vinnie back in 1996 was to promote his new record titled Out of Nowhere.

Enjoy!
