After 30 years at the University of Washington, Barry Lieberman is retiring.  I’ve had Barry on the podcast several times in the past, and we had an engaging chat about the hefty list of bass players that he has brought to the university for his Barry Lieberman and Friends series.

We also chatted about a wide variety of videos and artists, including:

• Barry’s orchestral solo videos on his YouTube Channel
• An Afternoon with Gary Karr
• A Rigoletto arrangement by Joe Lescher
• Northwest Profiles: Roma Vayspapir
• Rodion Azarkhin plays Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso
• Rustem Gabdullin plays Bottesini "Alla Mendelssohn”

This episode was recorded on March 10, 2020, and I congratulate Barry on his accomplishment!
