Super Good Radio Interview With Meridian Mississippi's Own Chris Ethridge A Founding Member Of The Flying Burrito Brothers.

Link below is to a super good radio interview in Mississippi with Chris Ethridge aired on October 31, 2010.
He is from Meridian Mississippi and was one of the founders of The Flying Burrito Brothers. And he also toured with Willie Nelson for over 5 years. He passed away recently. He was a highly regarded bass player and studio musician on many famous albums of the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s.
His memories of those times and the musicians he played with is well worth the time to listen to.
