60 MINUTES

with JAMES “MUNKY” SHAFFER

I make playlists … I made playlists for my wedding and the reception, and for when my children were born. The doctor let me play songs in the delivery room … But I narrowed this list down to ‘why I play music’ and some of the more important guitar-driven songs. And it’s still hard! [] … And these are in no particular order. It would take me a week to put these in order!”
