This time, we Flashback to the summer of 2002. I was lucky enough to catch up with Walt Parazaider, one of the founding members of the rock band Chicago. Walt was onboard to talk about Chicago's 35th Anniversary Tour and discuss a special post 9/11 concert they did in Washington, D.C. BTW, Walt plays  a wide variety of wind instruments, including saxophone, flute, and clarinet. Kick back and enjoy this classic interview from Season 3 of my original “Someone You Should Know program.
