Whit the Songwriter, Part 3
Episode 3
Wednesday, 21 June, 2023

We're back with a brand new episode in the Songwriter Series! Guest host Lee Connah picks up where we left off and explores two final songs written by my father, and Lee's uncle, Atlanta artist and musician Whit Connah. Episode 3 has been a long time coming, but it's well worth the wait. You'll hear two more Whit originals - Bon Rein and Roving Rounder - and the stories behind the songs. But there's so much more... Lee interviews family and friends influenced by Whit and shares about his own experience receiving some very special harmonica lessons. And Whit's wife, Barbara Panter-Connah, tells the story of their friendship with some legendary Cajun musicians. If you missed Episodes 1 and 2, be sure to go back and catch the stories behind more of Whit's songs and the people whose lives he touched. - show host and producer Amy Connah Hudson
