Preacherboy, blues man from NYC, was a damn fine sport — playing songs and taking care of the air while I took care of phone calls for pledge drive.
His National guitar was beautiful – wish I had snapped a photo of it.
I’ve had alot of genres featured on Hello Cruel World, but never Blues — and never with a slide. I truly dig the sound of slide guitar blues.
