The Hook

If you've ever played in any kind of half-assed blues band, which I did for a year or so (as a barely competent drummer), you know that the band has to have a half-assed blues band name.

I had the honor of recording Flatt and Scruggs in Chicago around late '62 or early '63 with Sheldon Danielson the Chief Engineer for WFMT. The station later played excerpts on the Midnight Special program. At the time I had no idea who Flatt and Scruggs were. I was a city boy into rock and some folk. Country was not an interest of mine. I've developed a minor interest in it since then. I listened to...
