Tool, Game of Thrones & More Cowbell

It's time for Mailbag May, a long-running (aka brand new) Strong
Songs tradition where Kirk spends the month of May catching up on
listener questions.


The Strong Songs mailbag overfloweth, and Kirk's got enough
material recorded for two Q&A episodes. For this first part,
we've got questions about chords, Tool, fire extinguishers,
perfect pitch, Avengers and Game of Thrones music, the popularity
of the flute, earworms, drum solos, and the inherent humor of the
cowbell.
