One of the best things about what I do is sitting down with people who have great stories to tell. When it happens on the air, that makes for a real magical moment.
Recently, I had Robert Gordon on the air during an episode of Booze & Blues on Radio Memphis. Robert is the author of a great book about Stax. The book is called Respect Yourself Stax Records and The Soul Explosion. A great read.
Robert is also documentarian with his latest subject currently on the big screen about William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal called Best of Enemies.
We talked about all these things and played some music. One of the tunes we played came from some tape that was left behind when Stax closed. The ghosts of Stax come alive in this episode. It was a fun conversation and I am quite sure you will enjoy it as well.
