Roger McGuinn blogs about the founding of his rock and roll hall of game group The Byrds -- from writing his first songs with Gene Clark to the happy surprise of harmonizing with David Crosby to hiring Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke on a whim to fill out the band. In those days, Roger was still known as Jim McGuinn, and was helping to bridge the gap between folk music and the early days of rock.
Roger appeared on my show in December, 2005, to talk about his Folk Den project -- listen here.
