My guest mixer this week is Derek Peplau
Derek, who hails from Connecticut but currently lives in Boston, is another one of those people that I've known online for many years, but this was the first time we'd met (albeit via Zoom). We first got to know each other via the Wedding Present online forum, and have always had a decent Venn diagram intersection, musically.
It was a pleasure to finally meet him, and he certainly didn't let me down with an interestingly varied mix...
