Their conversation starts with Hollywood in the 1970s and detours into the present with a discussion of Roger's new stage piano and Chris' electric guitar work, Roger's visit to an amazing property devoted to conservation, education and research, current reading and viewing and much more - including a musical gem from the archive.
