Episode 180 - Tony Williamson Interview

Join me on this wide-ranging conversation with Tony. We discuss mandolin world addiction, mandolin family instruments, Bill Monroe, Union Grove, overalls, the Bluegrass Alliance, Grisman's porch, Harry Sparks, how a mandolin brought a man back from near death, DGQ, flintknapping and archeology, and as if that were not enough, how a warehouse full of fine plastic guitars (made by the same man who made Django's guitar) bankrolled Mandolin Central. This a fun one and I know you will enjoy meeting Tony Williamson. (More information about the music below.)
