Tony Cirone was kind enough to join us for this episode of @ percussion.  He's not only the author of Portraits in Rhythm and its many "sequels," but also a distinguished orchestral player, performing with the San Francisco Symphony for nearly 40 years.  We were particularly excited to hear his take on the orchestra strikes in Pennsylvania, which began just before taping this episode. Topics: his new book, Buster Bailey, inner workings of being in an orchestra, the PA strikes Watch here. Listen below.
