Season 1 Episode 4 - John Fry

This episode's guest is a Memphis Music Icon, John Fry the owner of Ardent Studios. I believe this is John’s last interview before his untimely death on December 18, 2014. John Fry had been involved with Memphis music for years. His Ardent studios survived when others like Sun and Stax have fallen. John talks about Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Big Star and their contribution to Memphis music. Here’s the interview from September of 2013. I started by talking about the first broadcast from Ardent over FM100, the year was 1970 or 71 and the artist was Wishbone Ash.
