This podcast is part of my 'Singles' series, as in singles, as opposed to albums! But It was only after I made it that I decided to apply to it the title 'Memories of a celebrity Interviewer.' Why? Because it is mostly me telling a story about the night I finally got to meet and interview one of my life-long music heroes, Jerry Lee Lewis. The clip of him actually talking is short, noisy, because it was recorded backstage at one of his Dublin gigs, and insultingly to the point! So, did it make me decide that having become an interviewer mostly to meet my music heroes had been one of my great mistakes in life? Listen and you will find out. This podcast is dedicated to all my fellow lovers of 50s rock 'n' roll - and country music. And to fellow Jerry Lee Lewis fans.
