Hey sports fans!  We’re back with another episode, and this time it’s with the great Ryan Muir.  Ryan is a music teacher, that formerly played in the RI based band Monty Are I.  Ryan and I went to the same high school, so we had the same band directors, and we know a lot of the same people, so try to keep up!  Oddly enough, Ryan gets fired and re-hired every year, which I think is absolutely bananas.  We talk about this and a bunch of topics in this conversation and I hope you enjoy it!  Stay tuned for the music!
