Welcome to Off the Beaten Clef! With a new month, comes a new alliteration. And this month, we are marching through the decades and talking metal! This week, we discuss the 80’s with our metal / bassist correspondent, Louie! We each picked five songs for the playlist and have some laughs and anecdotes along the way. What did we miss?
