Self-congratulation!
I just learned that my short appreciation essay, "Link Wray," has been selected for publication in a Music of the Carolinas anthology to be released in the Spring by Novello Festival Press, a publishing imprint of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
I developed the essay from a short entry I posted here when Link Wray died, a couple of years ago (though I removed the post from here when I decided to work it up for submission). Usually associated with D.C., where his career found its legs, Link Wray was born in the I-95 truck stop town of Dunn, NC, where a circus performer named Hambone introduced an 8-yr-old Link to the blues.
If you wanna read more, buy the book! I'll post more details when I get 'em.
