Gutfiddlin' Ghost Notes: Lil' Ed Williams
Before Ed found his way into the world of the Blues, he worked at a car wash in the Greater Chicago area, and his uncle J.B. Hutto taught him and his half brother, Pookie to feel the music and play from the heart. That lesson was never lost on the young men, and when Alligator Records’ Bruce Iglauer invited the band to record for a song or two on an upcoming album, their off the chain performance in the studio allowed them to record their first album quite by accident! Lil’ Ed also talked about their new album, “Slideways”, the recent restructuring announcement by Alligator, and lots more.

Framing the Mississippi Saxophone: Jacki Sackheim
As a young girl, today’s guest remembers her Father taking thousands of photos of her and her siblings. As she got older, she discovered the art for herself, even learning how to develop the film and print the photos as well. That passion for the art has led to her new book, “Tales From the Harp”, a 131 page tabletop book that dedicates one page to each harmonica player she is showcasing. The photos are just the start, as she contacted each musician and got information from them about the type of harmonica used, and constructed the book around each performer. It’s a fun chat, so don’t miss out!
