**I cleaned up the audio on this interview and posted it as Episode 274 (http://artistconnectionpodcast.libsyn.com/episode-274-bernie-worrell) Please check it out!**
I had the rare opportunity to sit
down with Bernie Worrell for lunch and some great conversation. The
place was very crowded, but the background noise does not take
away from the fact that I was talking to a living legend. I had
been looking forward to this interview for weeks, and Bernie was
everything I expected him to be. This man has spent close to 65
years in the music business and is still going strong. We touched
on many topics. He shared some of his earliest memories as a child
prodigy, college, and eventually taking all he learned to create a
musical language that is all his own. We talked about his
groundbreaking work in Parliament/Funkadelic, Talking Heads, and
his solo work. He was very gracious and humble, and has so many
stories and experiences. Please visit Bernie at his website

interview!
