AG Weinberger Interview - Everyone Loves Guitar #254 Jun 14, 2018

Show notes

AG literally brought the blues to communist Hungary... was smuggling vinyl, coffee, and birth control pills into the country at age 12… and was gigging all over the country at age 17, playing with guys twice his age and older

Besides sharing some eye-opening stories about pre- and post-communist culture, AG talks about what he would have liked to do differently, earlier on in his career… positive changes he's made, and why he is so devoted to the blues. VERY interesting conversation with someone who's perspective on the music business, and on life - because of where he grew up - is very different to our perspective here in America. Worth listening to, for sure:
