Joining us this week is one of Ben's former teachers: Ricardo Flores.
Ricardo regularly plays various styles of music and was gracious enough to chat with us about So Percussion's new A Gun Show and its director, Ain Gordon, as well as the topic of mindful self-motivation, an ever-present issue in the minds of today's teachers and mentors.
