Sonny Boy Williamson III (host) 3:03:12 PM
We'll see what I can do! I'm a bit out of my wheelhouse here so the riffs may be less odiferous than those Ahab usually harpoons.
Brian 'D' For Donor 3:03:24 PM
Fahey!
Brian 'D' For Donor 3:05:14 PM
DJ Pup did that great Christmas Fahey experiment last year. Digitally stretched out versions of Fahey's Christmas lp. Guitar notes sounded like a thousand church organs
