Brent Watkins on Music
by Brent Watkins
As a musician, Brent Watkins has a truly unique story. A classically trained pianist, he began playing at the age of 8. By the time he was 14 (in 1975), he started gigging in a seedy adult-entertainment district in Kansas City called "The River Quay." There he learned the ins and outs of being a ragtime pianist. But his tastes in music have been so broad, that a friend once called him, "a musical omnivore." Most recently, he released "There It Is," an album in the tradition of German electronic experimentalism. Join him each week as he talks about music's profound personal, social, and cultural impact on the world around us.
