Listen "Episode 19: The Raconteur- Richard Flohil"
Episode Synopsis
A walk with 91 year old Richard Flohil is like a walk back in time.Miles Davis tried to buy his car to skip out on a gig. Benny Goodman was “miserable as sin”. Chuck Berry would only play an encore “if you slipped cash under his dressing room door”. And The Chieftains were “a feckless bunch of good time people who drank a lot”. Keep walking, and he’ll tell stories of working with Eric Idle, Alice Cooper, k.d. lang, and Billy Connelly. As a nonagenarian, he is a living repository of music history, and he tells his (often profane) stories with a twinkle in his eye, a delight in mischief, and with little regard to what anyone else thinks.
