We recently spoke with Mr Larry Simon about his book that focuses on the music, the artists and the movers and shakers who helped create that New York City blues scene with a book titled “New York City Blues”. Larry’s good friend Mr John Broven Edited and contributed to the book and we provide excerpts from our conversations with each of these gentlemen.
