Andy Santana is "Going East, Young Man"

Delta Groove Records

Andy Santana is a west coast harmonica player also known for his guitar and vocal prowess.  Though he's a household name up and down the California coastline, and he's played with blues music legends, his name outside the Golden State barely registers, even among blues fans.  On this edition of Talkin' Blues, Santana tells GLT's Jon Norton that it was his wife's urging that convinced him to make a "go of it" nationally.  He spoke with Norton via Skype from his home in Loomis, California

Jon Norton is the program director at WGLT and WCBU. He also is host of All Things Considered every weekday.
