Huge gratitude to Charlie Parr for being my guest on KFAI Spin with Cyn last night! It was such an honor and a pleasure hosting one of my very favorite artists in the world, performing songs live on the guitar given to him By Spider John. Charlie shared stories about this, and about the loss of Mimi (we played 2 of his fave Low songs), having a song featured on Reservation Dogs- which we both love, and about his new fiction book, Last of the Better Days.” Charlie performs 5 Sundays residency at the Turf Club.
