Todd Rundgren: Appreciation of Unpredictability - The ProgCast with Gregg Bendian

I am a life-long TODD RUNDGREN fan and it has been an incredible part of my musical life to perform with him and to have that documented on the new Blu-Ray issue of "THE UNPREDICTABLE TODD RUNDGREN" recorded live during my first week of unique shows with Todd back in 2012, with a new set list every....moment, it seemed! OLIAS hosts as I recollect my Todd history and how I ended up playing with one of my true lifetime heroes, and of course my favorite Todd musical moments, and how I approach the role of percussionist in this, at the time new, open format TR show.
