PAS Hall of Fame member Emil Richards' career serves as the first long-term example of a studio musician based in Los Angeles. He's played on over 2,000 film scores, and at 85 years of age still records for a few composers. He's seen the industry in its glamorous heydey and witnessed changes - good and bad.
With him we talk about beginning his instrument collection while on tour with Frank Sinatra, special stories attached to key instruments, and his opinions about the field of percussion and where it's headed. Casey couldn't help but mention that he and Emil both have Sicilian heritage.
