Topic: A legendary 1974 concert in McKeesport's Renzie Park and a lifetime in music

Guest: Singer-songwriter Norman Nardini of Pittsburgh

How Topic Discussed: Guitarist and songwriter Norman Nardini has worked with some of the biggest names in rock music over the past 50 years, despite never straying far from his roots in Pittsburgh. How was his band selected to open for Aerosmith for a now-legendary 1974 concert in McKeesport's Renziehausen Park? What does he remember of that day? How did he choose a career in music? What was the music scene like in Pittsburgh in the 1970s and how has it changed? Who does he find inspirational in music today? How does he begin the process of writing a song? Why did he decide to do a free series of concerts during the 2020 COVID lockdowns?
