Steel guitar oral history - Roy Lee Brown interview

Andy Volk · From: Boston, MA

Here's my 32-minute audio 2003 interview with Roy Lee Brown, musician and brother of Western Swing pioneer Milton Brown of Milton Brown and his Musical Brownie's. Roy remembers steel guitarist Bob Dunn & the early years of Western Swing. Please note: this track is unedited so I hope you can accept it warts and all as the amazing piece of oral history it is. I believe Mr. Brown is still with us at close to 100 years of age.

I listened to this on the bus on the way home last night. It's pretty interesting to hear someone's recollection from that period. Thanks for sharing!

You're very welcome. I hope to find time to digitize more of the raw cassettes from my 2003 interviews for my Lap Steel Guitar book. A number of those folks are sadly, no longer with us.
