Earlier this year, I was capping off <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/podcasts\/songs_and_stories59.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">part two<\/a> of an interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/index.php?blog=2&amp;title=ansty_interview&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\" target=\"_blank\">Antsy McClain<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/unhitched.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trailer Park Troubadours<\/a> outside of KPIG in Freedom, CA. Antsy and <a href=\"http:\/\/edgarcruz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Edgar Cruz<\/a> were doing a short California run they called their &#8220;You Say Flamingo &#8211; I Saw Flamenco&#8221; tour. I finished chatting with Antsy, and since Edgar was waiting in the van, we figured I might was well get a two-fer out it and record a chat with Edgar, too. <\/p>\n<p>So we did. And I was treated to a note-for-note take on Queen&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/cdbaby.com\/cd\/edgarcruz16\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221;<\/a>, followed by an Edgar Cruz original, along with a very interesting conversation on how this particular artist makes a living&#8230;and does it by staying fairly close to home. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/edgarcruz.com\/store.html\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/cruz_01.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D216646993\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/subscribe-with-itunes.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fsongs_and_stories_66_fingerstyle_guitari%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click to hear &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; #66 (time = 27:30, size = 25.35 mb) I&#8217;d file this under &#8220;accidentally crossing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-podcast"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":895,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions\/895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
