Thanks for this,

It's a cracking programme, but just to say the original link has now switched to the latest broadcast, which at the time of this posting is an equally great programme about 1930s and 40s (and still playing and touring) German/American acoustic rhythm guitarist Marty Grosz. This programme is also well worth a listen, if only to hear his stories about life and times in the early jazz clubs, but also as an alternative take on rhythm guitar playing drawn from the same period as the QHCF.

Anyway, the good news is you can still find the Bricktop programme at:-

And the Marty Grosz programme should also be available for a time at:-

Cheers,

Ooops!

Bit of a mistake in my previous post saying Marty Grosz was playing in the 1930s/40s - if he had been, he'd have only been about 10 at the time! Talk about a child prodigy.

Marty was born in 1930, so started his career around the late 40s, and started recording in 1950.

Apologies to Marty.
