Self-Congratulation!
Posted by Brendan McKennedy at January 19, 2008 7:35 PMI just learned that my short appreciation essay, "Link Wray," has been selected for publication in a Music of the Carolinas anthology to be released in the Spring by Novello Festival Press, a publishing imprint of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
I developed the essay from an entry I posted on my blog when Link Wray died, a couple of years ago. Though usually associated with D.C., where his career found its legs, Link was born in the I-95 truck stop town of Dunn, NC., where a circus hand named Hambone introduced 8-year-old Link to the blues.
If you wanna read more, buy the book! I'll post more details when I get 'em.
Dude, that freakin' rules! Congratulations!
