One question we get asked often is "Why 23rd Hour?"

Soon after I moved to the Bay Area, I went to an open mic night to play and get to meet local musicians. I loved George's set so I went up to him and asked: "do you ever collaborate with people on your songs, and if so, would you be interested in collaborating with me?". He lied and said yes to both. We got together for a jam and realized we had no songs in common. He knew jazz, classic rock, folk, anything up to the 70s and I knew mostly classical music…
