On October 15, 2016, The Richie Cole Plays Ballads & Love Songs quartet performed on the syndicated public radio program The Saturday Light Brigade with long time host Larry Berger. You can listen to the program here: http://neighborhoodvoices.org/live-music-richie-cole-quartet Special thanks to Chad Green for the great mix. And for those wondering why I played electric bass instead of my customary, and probably more appropriate, double bass, we had about 2 minutes to set up the entire band. It's hard enough to mic a double bass under the best of circumstances and having played the show before, I figured it would make life easier for everyone if I brought something I could just plug in and go.
