Description
Jerry Reed Hubbard was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on 20 March, 1937. He was the second child born to Robert Spencer Hubbard and Cynthia Hubbard, two Atlanta cotton mill workers who barely earned enough money to keep the family together. Jerry's birth strained an already troubled marriage, and four months later the couple separated. For the next seven years Jerry and his sister Patricia where shuttled between Georgia orphanages and foster homes. They finally returned home in 1944 when their mother married Hubert Howard, another mill worker.
Music provided a welcome diversion for the family. He was exposed to gospel music via his religious background, and a natural aptitude for singing gave him a yearning to become a musician at a very early age.
Encouraged by her son's continuing passion for music, Cyntia Howard saved seven dollars to buy a no-name second-hand guitar from a neighbor. Using a nickel as a flat pick, she taught the nine-year-old his first chords ...

The Music of Jeff Linsky, virtuoso
guitarist, recording artist and award winning composer.
With a strong classical guitar technique and a remarkable gift for improvisation, Jeff Linsky has developed his own warmly passionate and personal style of playing, blending elements of jazz, classical, and Latin music.
An award winning composer, Jeff has several critically acclaimed recordings to his credit. Jeff's original composition, Up Late, from the Concord Records release of the same name, has become a standard in the Smooth Jazz radio format. His composition, Monterey served for years as the broadcast theme of the Monterey Jazz Festival. His Latin Jazz project, Simpatico, featuring Weather Report veterans Alphonso Johnson and Alex Acuna, was nominated Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors. The completely improvised solo guitar release, Jeff Linsky/Solo, was selected to Downbeat Magazine's Top Ten List. Jeff is currently writing music for television, but continues to record new projects for Arona Records ...

Pierre Bensusan, guitarist:
Some guitarists have become fluent in the musical language of their time and place. Of these men and women, there are some who take in music from beyond their own surroundings and give birth to new musical ideas, brave compositions, and inventive playing styles. Most rare, however, are those artists who do all these things and continue to listen to their hearts, who compose beyond the limitations of their instrument, and who improvise without fear. Rare indeed, Pierre Bensusan is a guitarist, a composer, a man who constantly explores the depth of his own voice. In doing so, his music, (or as he says, his work) seems to come from a source much greater than the hands and voice of one man.
If “world music” is music that pays tribute to the spirit of a collection of human beings through distinct rhythms, traditional instruments and harmonic colors, Pierre Bensusan can be recognized as one of the most eloquent and diverse world musicians of our time. In his solo concerts that could last nearly 3 hours, Bensusan weaves together the music from so many lands and so many times in history, no list of reasonable length here would suffice. And for each piece Bensusan describes as being influenced by “a man from Iraq”, or the middle-ages, or the essence of the Brazilian culture, each piece is informed by much more. None can be isolated as simply “Brazilian” or “French”; rather, they represent our world in its current state, a world sharing itself, fusing cultures together in ways we have never experienced ...

Rory Block:
Four Time W.C. Handy Award Winner.
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. I want to say a very special thank you to all the wonderful people who write to us about the site, the shows, and about their own profound personal experiences. Please know that without you, good friends, fans and web surfers, there could be no career, just pickin' and singin' on the porch (which ain't half bad in itself as that is where all good music started).
I was born in Princeton NJ in 1949 and spent the beginning of my life in a small wood house with no plumbing, hidden deep in the woods on a hillside in Neshanic. At the time, nothing but endless farms stretched across the land as far as the eye could see. Penniless but idealistic, my parents toughed it out, boiling diapers on the stove and hauling water from the old hand well in the yard. At the age of 18, Eleanor Jean Keller married Allan Block, a young intellectual who, after winning a national literary award in college and raising his parents hopes, ran away from his midwestern upbringing to live the bohemian life in the new land of freedom, the East Coast. Setting aside her dreams of becoming a singer and a painter, Jean had her first child when she was nineteen, a daughter, named Mona. The second child, Aurora ('Rory'), came less than a year later ...
