Richard Shindell - Words and Music - 2009

Richard Shindell writes songs, he sings songs, and he plays a ton of instruments on his sixth studio album 'Not Far Now,' and the characters he sings about wear a lot of hats too. He has written songs from the perspective of an INS officer, a Confederate drummer boy, and an Argentinean grandmother. That's one reason we felt honored when Richard came into Studio-A to talk with host Claudia Marshall, and give his own point of view. [11/13/09]
