This special extended episode features a look at Bing's experience in Memphis, Tennessee during the week of the 2016 International Blues Challenge; the largest gathering of blues musicians in the world. Culled together with various bits of raw iPhone footage, Bing shares an eerie look at a near-desserted Beale St. before the challenge, a quick tour through legendary Sun Studio and clips of the performances in the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals that led him to be named "Best Guitarist" overall in the solo-duo category of the 32nd annual IBC!

Dulcimerica 301 - "Demo: Swallowtail Jig"

Bing starts off the 9th season of "Dulcimerica" with a song demo of the Celtic tune "Swallowtail Jig." The tune is performed at moderate tempo with focus on hand-placement and melody with additional instruction on adding chords when playing solo. And then some kind of poltergeist shows up at the end. Weird.
