Mr. B

A long list of musicians will gather at The Ark on Sunday for a very special evening. It's a celebration of Dick Siegel and his music. For more than 40 years, Siegel has graced area stages, providing a unique voice and musical presence. Each of the performers on Sunday will play a selection from Siegel's catalogue, and more than 20 pieces will be represented. It was Dick’s Siegel’s request that all proceeds benefit The Ark. Two of the participating performers are George Bedard and Mr. B. They joined WEMU's David Fair to discuss the impact of Dick Siegel and share their connections.
