The Writers Interview: For this podcast episode I’ve decided to play for you an interview I did in New Orleans a few weeks ago for the Writers Forum. It is a radio program out of New Orleans hosted by author Michael Tusa. I will read passages from my book and share why I decided to write what I call the first history of blues.
