Sam waxes poetic about the magic of jam sessions and improvisation, and the profound influence of artists like Byron Berline. From the roots of “Callin’ Baton Rouge” to the impact of the Vietnam era, Bush’s journey is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of bluegrass.Presented by BGS (The Bluegrass Situation)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/toy-heart-with-tom-power-a-podcast-about-bluegrass3537/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
