The Bandwich Tapes Brad Williams

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I talk with one of my dearest friends and musical heroes, Bill Cunningham. I have known Bill since I was a kid, and we have played together many times. He is like a big brother to me, and I have learned so much from him. We are joined by my pal, Mark Mundy.  
We talk about all things steel guitar. Bill also reflects on his early interest in the instrument and the influence of his father, Howard Cunningham, a renowned musician in Georgia. We discuss and talk about the history and growth of the Georgia Mountain Fair, the influence of the fairgrounds on musicians, connections and collaborations between musicians, opportunities for young musicians to get their start, and Bill's musical journey. We discuss some memorable gigs we have played together, including performances with Dennis Brown, Brad Thompson, and Kenny Smith. Bill shares his early attraction to jazz music and his love for jazz guitar players like Joe Pass and George Benson.
