Thank you so much for making this.

Ah, thanks bud. Might be the highlight project of my life thus far, glad ya dig it!

I was most fortunate to have seen Spider John live at Le Hibou folk music club in Montreal Canada, I think in the 80s. With his band. A great blues artist!

[@kostringworks]

Ah, that must have been amazing!!

[@jimji5116]

@kyle orla stringworks I was/am a blues guitar player, and tried to learn his songs, but his guitar style was so unique that I could only appreciate his playing. Also, his vocals were incredible.

[@kostringworks]

@@jimji5116 I’ve tried too! Charlie says it best, his rhythm is like trying to figure out the sound of a rug when you put it on the spin cycle. 😂

[@stevehowell231]

Saw Spider John at Les Cousins in the late 60s.

[@clevelandthomsen7042]

Legends!

[@kostringworks]

Absolutely!

@@kostringworks not into podcasts, but if you get Charlie Parr to sit down and talk about his influences, his style, his way of playing, his creative process....I'm tuning in all day/all night. Maybe a nice winter project?

[@kostringworks]

@@clevelandthomsen7042 we definitely have more projects on the horizon! I think we’re getting him used to this KZbin! Thanks for the suggestions!

@@kostringworks I'll keep my eyes peeled! 🤞🤞🤞

[@RangerRon75]

Charlie and Spider John look like they are relatives! More like Uncle John.

[@johnmurphy1466]

Great story.. the spelling of the Gresthr would definitely niggle me 😬

[@kostringworks]

Ha! Yeah pretty goofy that got off the factory line like that!

Spider John, along with Koerner Ray & Glover, the Front Porch Swinging' Liquor Pigs, and Willie Murphy & the Bees performed at First Avenue in January 2002: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4Ssf5iEoaysbMk
