Steve McPhail – Sonny Boy From The Sault

On this show, Brian says: I connect with an old friend from the Sault music scene that I haven’t spoken to in about forty years. His name is Steve McPhail, you might remember him from a well known band in the Sault, Edison Slave. Now, Steve performs under the moniker, Sonny Boy Mick. He and I discuss the origin of his stage name, some of his fond memories of the Sault, what took him to southern Ontario, and playing guitar for Alan Frew of Glass Tiger.
