    Episode 2 contains a conversation between my pal Cliff Albert and myself. We met as kids while playing shows throughout the Pocono Mountains in Northeast Pennsylvania. Cliff is not only a great drummer but a hell of a pinball player. Take a listen and learn about how Cliff became a hired gun for many touring acts and started his own pinball streaming channel on twitch. Sometimes you need to get creative to stay busy, and that's exactly what Cliff did. Check out Cliff on Instagram: @cliff_albert @warlockpinball777
