For this week's episode, Bernie and I took a road trip up to Connecticut and sat down with musician, engineer, and producer, Richard Hilton. Richard is the keyboardist for the band "Nile Rodgers & Chic", and has worked with Nile for over 30 years. We spoke about Richard’s work with Nile, David Bowie, Duran Duran and both Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, and barely scratched the surface. Richard has seen and done it all and has the receipts to prove it.
