O R G slash listen tell your smart speaker to play W O U B. I I'm your Macau going on welcome to live in the for Peace Ranch stuff and Grossman's a lot of instructional things over the years and he's a wonderful man to listen to whether he's playing his own work or reverend Davis'. I am. I am. You have to understand also the 1st row the good topic is in the like me and we I'm a guitar player. Now and I was 15. I was going to an all boys high school Brooklyn Tech. And I had no idea how to relate to women. So my brother who is older. Said You have to learn how to play an instrument guitars a good one for picking up girls. I thought OK well watched I do my brother's name was called What should I do so it will go to Greenwich Village and I looked at my parents who were typical Jewish Brooklyn communists. And I says that all right mom and dad to go to Greenwich Village said Yes yes get some of those you know commie records Woody Guthrie Pete Seeger and all that stuff I said OK And so I went to Greenwich Village and there was a record shop and there was Pete Seeger Woody Guthrie Woody Guthrie had a guitar holding it like this so I got that Woody Guthrie record and then I turned around and there was this rack of records of black people now one thing but they were all playing guitar but they had names that were incredible Blind Lemon Jefferson. Bowl Weevil Jackson. Blind boy fuller Big Bill Broonzy with Josh White on side B. So I got this record in just as a side track so did John Wren born in Martin Kathy in England at the same time got this record a big bill Josh why he sighed and beside him had a 2nd record Woody brought him home to Brooklyn. Put on old Woody's record and what he was going. To. Use. What is the matter with you. And then I put on the Big Bill Broonzy reget I heard this and this changed my life . In the shop. And the bookie. I should enjoy myself so much. But feel so good. All right. And then when I finally realized I was the music I wanted to play a friend said You gotta go up to the Bronx there's a Baptist preacher there. Hold incredible His name is Reverend Gary Davis will teach you guitar sir turned to my dad and I said dad I'm going up to the Bronx I think to learn guitar from a blind Baptist preacher. And I called up Reverend Davis and Reverend Davis said OK Bring your money honey 5 bucks for a lesson so I turned to Dad So I'm going there on Saturday and he looked at me and said that's really strange because I have to buy a pair of shoes up there. So we went up to Reverend Davis's house and knocked at the door and they open it up and that started 3 years of learning from a wonderful wonderful teacher now this is one of Davis' ragtime tunes but I'd like to do this so we have some audience participation in this spirit of Pete Pete Seeger OK. I'm not going to ask you to sing along to this instrumental and what will do is we clapping our hands men women and guitar plays a try to have some fun tonight. And a certain point I'm going to say stop in English because we're in Ohio sauce a stop and then I'm going to say where there's going to be the men the women or the guitar pick is who will do some fancy stuff and let me explain it better for you it's a rag time thing so it's going to go did that they did it.

You're listening to Live from your Macau can infer Peace Ranch this concert featuring Stephan Grossman recorded March 27th 2010. And I was living in London England in a student came over and said John Fayed just put out a new album I said good great good for John Yeah but there's a tune on it it's titled The assassination of Stephan Grossman. This by the way was like in 197072 where assassinations were really popular in America. And I said wow what a bad joke Why did he do that so the only way I could sort of return the favor was to do a song called The Assassination of John Fay he which I did I put it out on the record and he was so angry for one year he was writing me letters. With all the German philosophical texts in all different things if I said John let's stop peace and then he said you know what we should do Stephan. Let's do an assassination to her in America. They go over really big. So I said OK and we would set all the dates were booked and this is all true. It is. And then my back gave out herniated disc a real fun to live with and I couldn't get up out of the bed and I called up John and I said John I can't go it can't do the tour I don't know what do I do apologize and he said well I'll do a couple of the dates which he did and of course people came up to him and said Where's Stephan. I. And John and his Raju way just said I killed him. So this is for John may rest in heaven here we go. Iowa are you. Thank you. Thank you. Ui. You. Are right. I. Like. Our little bit. Yes. My.
