Things We Said Today #393 – Celebrating Ringo at 83: Mark Rivera interview, Part 1.

            In episode 393 of Things We Said Today, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren Devivo have a chat with Mark Rivera, the saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist who has been the music director of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Bands since the 1990s, as well as being a member of Billy Joel’s band since 1982, and having worked with many other artists. We had such a good time – but had so many questions left when we ran out of time – that we’ll be speaking with Mark again for our next show, so don’t miss that.
