Rico and Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues), Chicago House Of Blues 1996
Rico Anderson and Rico Entertainment was
featured August 18-19 on the Worldwide House Of Blues Radio Hour with Elwood Blues.
Elwood interviewed Rico as a retrospective look at Rico's 30+ year career in the
Entertainment business. We also touched on the latest news on Reverend Raven, Johnny
Rawls, Lamont Cranston and more. Very cool.
THE SHOW WENT GREAT. I WILL TRY TO POST A
LINK HERE TO THE SHOW, IF SPACE ALLOWS IT. THIS IS AN MP3 FILE, SO I HOPE IT DOESN'T BLOW
THE SERVER UP. IT'S ABOUT 13 MINUTES LONG & 11.7 MB.
