Hey all,

KFAI - FM in Minneapolis is having a tribute to Link on the program Radio Rumpus Room. The details are below, but you can listen in on the internet at http://www.kfai.org.

Think Link! Radio Rumpus Room (Fridays, 9:00-10:30 PM) pays tribute to Link Wray, one of the most influential guitar wranglers in history, this Friday, December 2. We will observe the recent passing of the creator of such legendary instrumentals as "Rumble,""Jack The Ripper," "Rawhide" and "Comanche," One of the first guitarists to experiment with feedback and distortion, Wray was tagged by the British mag NME as the man who "invented punk rock, heavy metal and every other form of sonic nastiness."
