A rare and insightful interview with Legendary and World Class Keyboard Keyboardist, Brian Auger.","description":" Brian Auger honestly states in this podcast, \u201cBeing a professional musician and making a living at it wasn\u2019t planned, it just happened.\u201d British Keyboard artist Brian Auger has played with the best of the best - Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Sonny Boy Williamson, Rod Stewart, Eric Burdon, John McLaughlin , Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis just to name a few. His groups were The Trinity with Julie Driscoll and the Oblivion Express as well as playing in many sessions with major artists. In this insightful podcast Brian takes us from being bombed by Hitler\u2019s troops  as a young boy in the streets of London to his becoming a world class musician specializing in the Hammond B3 organ. Brian sums up his approach to playing music with the following quote:     \u201cI\u2019m never dissatisfied with the reaction to albums because there are certain albums that I made in the \u201870s and the \u201860s that sold poor and people want them. It seems to pick up different generations as it goes along. I don\u2019t worry about that. I just worry that the tracks that we would put, have a meaning to them, they mean something to me. Each album is like a page in my musical diary: Where I am musically at that time. I am not looking to write something for any kind of need in the marketplace or anything like that. I am just trying to make the best music that I can make and put it out there.\u201d ","author_name":"You Just Have To Laugh","author_url":"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/david-naster","html":"
