Show Notes
On Saturday February 8th at about 3PM in the afternoon I had the honor of meeting Rik Palieri. Rik started the interview by telling me that a lot of people think they know him, but they really don’t. He wanted to share a little bit more of his life story, tell us all about his upcoming book, “Banjo Man” and discuss the power of storytelling.
