Podcast 260: Richard Walter, Curator at MIM

Richard Walter, curator for Phoenix, Arizona’s amazing Musical
Instrument Museum, joins us on this week’s Fretboard Journal
Podcast. We talk about his background, his role at the museum
and, most importantly, about MIM’s current exhibit, The Electric
Guitar: Inventing an American Icon. The exhibit, which closes on
September 15, 2019, gathers a wide array of historic and
legendary instruments, including Speedy West’s Bigsby (profiled
in a recent Fretboard Journal) and guitars from Alvino Rey, Bo
Diddley and Les Paul.
