GUITAR BOSSES: LES PAUL & HONEYBOY EDWARDS

November 16th, 2016

Tune in and hear a classic show from our archives that pays witness to over 150 years of guitar experience between the guests from our original 2007 program. The late Les Paul, Wizard of Waukesha, talked about his leap from taking up the instrument to inventing the guitar heard ‘round the world that still bears his name. And the late Delta guitarist and walking blues encyclopedia Honeyboy Edwards came by our studio back then to share memories of Robert Johnson, the 1927 flood, and recording for Alan Lomax along the way.
