Steve Post, host of The NO SHOW, reflects on his brush with the famous in his recollections of two encounters in the 1960’s with “Blind Boy Grunt.” Cringe as Steve tells his anonymous but universally acclaimed guest at the time, “You’ll never make it in this business.” Share Steve’s nanosecond of social importance as his spouse bestows a precious belonging on that same personage. Or better yet, just listen to the music.
