Gulf Coast Recorded recording artist Mark May calls into the show to chat with Tom about his new album "Deep Dark Demon" which went to #6 on the Billboard Living Blues chart. Mark talks about how he and Tom Forst's bass player Dave Stoltz auditioned for the Allman Brothers Band together, and later both performed with the Dicke Betts solo band. Mark discusses the influence Dickie Betts had on his own style of playing, which is a mix of rock and various blues styles.
