episode 1: Ron Larson
In Episode 1 of ‘Art of Rock with Kosh & Friends’, the mononymous Kosh sits down with long time collaborator Ron Larson to discuss several albums they worked on together. From Rod Stewart, Jon Anderson, REO Speedwagon, Kim Carnes and David Lindley to Linda Ronstadt, with whom they won a pair of Grammys for the albums “Get Closer” & “Lush Life”.
Ron was trained as a graphic designer at Cal State Fullerton and two weeks before graduation was hired to help finish the logo design for an upcoming low budget sci-fi film, something called Star Wars. Yeah, that one. It was just the beginning of a long and fruitful career making posters and other visuals for numerous music and film productions.
Kosh and Ron will tell stories working together, the highs and lows, the fun and gags, on many classic album covers, some of which we are certain are in your collection.
