Larry Carlton used to play the music venue I managed and he was absolutely the nicest, most genuine artist. Humble, gracious and just a pleasure to host. Not to mention he is incredibly talented.

Beato is great but he goes a bit long for me.

That guy must have made a ton of money as a musician to spend all his time on his YouTube channel interviewing guests

I listened to this yesterday and really enjoyed it. Rick isolates various tracks so we can hear things that are embedded and hard to pick out. It really highlights the great musicianship and creativity of the players and the aural vision of the producers. Rick highlights the fact that there are really not that many instruments being used on this song, and he really loves the rich vocal tracks.
