Paul Myers Interview on The Time Machine





Singer-songwriter, musician (The Gravelberrys) and author (It Ain’t Easy: Long John Baldry And The Birth Of The British Blues, Barenaked Ladies: Public Stunts Private Stories) Paul Myers was a guest on The Time Machine. Paul shared stories about his latest book is "A Wizard A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio". In addition to Todd Rundgren's musical career as a solo artist and a band member of Nazz and Utopia, Todd produced numerous records for other artists. Todd's hand in many hit records made him a highly sought after producer while busy working on his own music.
