prime time radio: Chuck Leavell: Conservationist and Piano Player for the Rolling Stones

If you don't have Flash - you can't see the video of our guests in the studio. Get Flash!

Chuck Leavell has played with the greatest rockers of his generation - from the Allman Brothers to the Rolling Stones. For the Stones, he's held down the piano bench for 20 years, becoming a virtual member of the band, and one of its key assets.

But Leavell is interested in more than music. His autobiography, Between Rock and a Home Place, details his passion for tree farming, and includes some incongruous scenes of Leavell going from gig to gig, studying in the back of the bus for his forestry degree.

Did we mention his great sense of humor and warm Georgia smile? Enjoy the video clip, then listen to the complete interview, which has plenty more music to enjoy.
