Toni Green, Howard Grimes and John Gary Williams Talk About Willie Mitchell

Sometimes we get very lucky. This is one of those times. There was a very special evening that was captured at Radio Memphis when these three sat down with Jeff and I to talk about their work with Willie Mitchell. To hear legendary artists and entertainers talk about the creation of their work with this producer was an incredible experience.

I thought of breaking this down in to a two part piece however, I found the conversation to be rather compelling and it would have killed the vibe to rudely interrupt this chat. So, we left it pretty much intact.

I say "pretty much" because this was edited for time. It is a long listen, so get comfortable and enjoy this fantastic moment about making music, how to do it right and working with a man that put hits on records all over the world.

One of my favorite things about doing this job is meeting some truly wonderful people. This episode is indicative of that very thing. Toni Green lives in France and though she comes home to the States from time to time, it is difficult to catch up with her. We got lucky. She had some time in her schedule and stopped in to Radio Memphis.

Jeff Janovetz, Mark Caldwell and myself had a great time on the air with her during an episode of Blues & Booze. If you missed it, here it is.
