The Real Del...

The five-and-only Del McCoury Band returns to town to play The National on Saturday night and as a warm-up, I dug out an interview I did with Del before their Groovin' In The Garden show at Lewis Ginter back in the fall of 2004. Just click here, then download the mp3 and hear the former Blue Grass Boy reflect on what he learned from Bill Monroe, how he met Jerry Garcia when Jerry was David Grisman's banjo player, and what it's like on the road with sons Rob and Ronnie. And of course we hope to see you at the show...my first emcee gig at the beautiful new venue. TT (photo from Del's Website)
