YouTube du Jour: Bill Kirchen

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCo_yXI7ZlI[/youtube] Tonight, honky-tonk guitar hero Bill Kirchen plays Chickie Wah Wah. Kirchen wowed a Jazz Fest audience at the Lagniappe Stage when he quoted 50 years of rock ‘n’ roll history in a six-minute version of “Hot Rod Lincoln,” the song he made his name on when he was the guitarist in Commander Cody’s Lost Planet Airmen. Here he is live at the Minnesota State Fair in 2008 paying tribute to Professor Longhair and others on “Flip Flop.”
