Interview with Charlie Parr

I conducted a phone interview with Charlie Parr from Duluth, Minnesota for airplay early 2011 on BayFM in Byron Bay

...Charlie is a country blues musician, he plays a National resonator guitar, a fretless open-back banjo, and a 12-string guitar in the piedmont blues style similar in style to Charlie Patton, Bukka White, Reverend Gary Davis, and Dave Van Ronk.
