I got to interview Link about the same time. He was about the nicest most gracious person I have ever met. He sat and played guitar and told stories for about an hour, let me see if I can find the master and I'll post it.

That would be absolutely spectacular man!

I'm looking forward to hearing it!

Keep us in the know, share the wealth ;)

Peace, and Do rock on!

I don't think that the "Host" tried to "ruin" the Interview ... I think that He was a Bit "Excitied" + got "carried-away" at-Times ... be-thankful that It was at-least conducted by Someone who seem genuinely interested in (Rock+Roll / Rockabilly / Instrumental) Music , and NOT Someone from a More "Corporate"-Type Organization (Dick Clark or Casey Kasem , for-Example ... Two People who lived thru the Era , but seem to remember NOTHING about Actual Events)

Like my grandpap says - "The only rock n roll greatest not hooked on junk"

@kidcalabria The amazing thing is his lack of 'ego' !! All the top R&R guitarists point to him as their influence - most of them having giant egos, and yet this man talks about them as if hes merely just another fan ! Cool as hell he was....

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Wait a second. I don't remember his name being "Link Wray". I thought it was "God".

The new 100 Greatest Artists list just came out by Rolling Stone Magazine & the Linkster is NOT on it!! What the hell?? This man is soooo cool! Besides being cool, he is (was) one of the best, most innovative guitarists to date.

@thePharoah90086 I love you.

[kidcalabria]

I think one can tell that he was of Native-American descent (and proud of it too probably, hence songs like Comanche, etc..). I really like the fact that he had nice things to say about Sid Vicious too, and that he clearly had an historical vision of Rock'n'Roll, as an on-going art-form, a great tradition, of which he was one of the great pioneers.

This man was really something. Thank you so much for posting this

@allstonma dude, if you ever found that master, post it as a video response. it'd be awesome...

[MrBuk86]

@nrobnas43 Interesting comparison. I doubt Kerouac listened to Link Wray. Probably heard him, but I don't think he would've bought any of his records. I think he was more into stuff from Bach to Charlie Parker. Still, great stuff.

[alleyjagger]

the guy was absolutely THE SHIT. thanks for the interview; "crank the amps and let it fly, baby!

Pause at 3:35 and take a look at the size of Link. He was shaking it in that guys face, lol.
