As always, this one is filled with some great music and stories. Lee and Whit take you inside "The Harmonica School of the Air," John Ferguson shares about "Elderly Music for John," and Michael Daves' shares about the encouragement he received from Whit and his wife Barbara when Michael first showed interest in playing music... we've also got deep dives into the songs "Bon Rein" and "Roving Rounder," and so much more. You can check it out now wherever you listen to podcasts or at https://honkytonkpapa.buzzsprout.com/.

There's so much good stuff in this new episode of H***y Tonk Papa, I don't even know where to begin, so I'll let the photos do the talking. Congrats to my cousin & guest host Lee Connah who once again did a stellar job. I'm having a blast working with him on this!

“I consider it the miracle of my life that Whit Connah loved me.” - Barbara Panter Connah ... Barbara, our guest on E4 Amor Eterno, is a great storyteller. It’s not only the things she says, but the way she says them. Her voice, intonations, humor, expressiveness... it all wraps up into a package that can’t help but draw us in. Do yourself a favor and take some time to listen intently and uninterrupted to Barbara’s beautiful account of her love story with Whit. @ Atlanta, Georgia

“Songs to Sing and Tales to Tell”

The H***y Tonk Papa Podcast is an audio journey into the life and legacy of my father, Whit Connah. He was a powerhouse singer and musician who loved nothing better than making music with others.

He's impacted the lives of musicians from Atlanta to Appalachia, New Orleans to New York, Ireland to Serbia - and beyond. If he recognized talent in someone, he often called them into the spotlight, ready or not. After he passed away in 2016, I went on a mission to sit down and talk with people whose lives he touched. Many said they might not have pursued their music or picked up an instrument if he hadn't encouraged them. Thankfully, I recorded the conversations. They were so meaningful I knew I needed to find a way to get them out into the world. And that's how I came up with the idea to do a podcast. Will there be new interviews? Absolutely. The majority of the episodes will be current interviews, and we'll weave in the ones I recorded in 2017 and 2018.

It does my heart good to bring this project to life - because it keeps his legacy alive.

Stay tuned for more details on how you can get involved, how to tune in, and more!
