  • Charlie and John talk about guitars that were stolen, returned, modified and gifted.
    Charlie Parr has always spoken very freely about his influences, and one if his living mentors, Spider John, just gifted him his guitar. Charlie asked if I would help him document this, and it has turned into a 4-part series that goes deep into the story of this guitar, as well as what John calls his "so-called career" as a folksinger.

    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!

      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.

      @@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. 😂
