WNTI Vito 'Spotlight' w/interview

[OldTimer]

A couple of months ago, NJ radio station WNTI (Greg Lewis's Rock-It Science show) had a 2-hour 'Spotlight' on Rick Vito and his music. I wasn't able to catch it that night, but I found Greg's downloads of that show at the Blindman's Blues Forum (in two 1-hour segments). The interview is near the beginning of the first hour, and the rest of the show is all music of Rick's over the years. They play a lot of Blue Again, plus a variety from his other releases.

My favorite gem here is from 1977 -- a smokin' live performance with Roger McGuinn's Thunderbyrd. The song is McGuinn's Byrds song Lover of the Bayou, with Rick just tearing it up (as Greg Lewis so aptly said) on lead guitar. It's just past the 30 minute mark of the second hour. It's followed by a track from Mayall's No More Interviews.

Here's the playlist for the whole show:
Knock Me Down, Rick Vito, King Of Hearts
Black Magic Woman, Mick Fleetwood Blues Band featuring Rick Vito, Blue Again
A live phone chat with Rick Vito from his Hawaii home
