During their candid conversation, Peter opens up to Farhoud Meybodi about his winding, and often tumultuous path, from a small mining town in Placer County California to igniting a movement to unleash the inner artist in misfits around the world.

    Harold O’Neal - A Table for Eight, Please

    Harold O’Neal - A Table for Eight, Please

    Harold O’Neal is a world-class improviser, a pianist and composer, compared to Duke Ellington and Maurice Ravel by the New York Times.  Given that, it should be no surprise that Harold’s conversation with Peter Sims was unlike any other we have featured. They imagine what it would be like to have their great grandparents — one a slave and one a slave owner — meet for dinner with them and a few other special guests.
