We interviewed Merl Saunders on 5-2-2000. This was one of the first 4 or 5 in-person-interviews for Honest Tunes radio, in our first season on the air. We caught up with Merl in the upstairs office of Chester’s Place in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Merl talked about his years of jamming on keys with Jerry Garcia, JGB, Legion Of Mary, Reconstruction, and The Rainforest Band.
