Vassar Clements tribute podcast

podcastingThe recent passing of fiddling legend Vassar Clements has left us all a little blue. I was in the studio working with Larry Keel and his brother Gary when Vassar left us. I got Larry to tell a story about the first time he played with Vassar and then he and Gary recorded a short two guitar version of San Antonio Rose in honor of Vassar. We offer the story and the song here as a podcast tribute to Vassar.
