Sean Burns
Musician, songwriter and host of Boots and Saddle on CKUW 95.9 FM
I’m reading Jimmy McDonough’s Gary Stewart: I Am From the Honky-Tonks again. Any chance I can talk about this book, I’ll take it. (Stewart) should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame; he sort of rejected the machine so hard that they kind of let him sink himself. But he was a fantastic performer. He was just so passionate about playing, he didn’t care about the other stuff — to his detriment. It’s sad. The fellow who wrote the book was a superfan who chased (Stewart) down and just showed up at his place and really got to know him. The context, from when Gary was a young child to the very end, and the details are incredible. You get a really good sense of who he was as a person. I learned some stuff about how the music business operated that I never knew.
