This interview was one of the first ones that we did. It was shot in 2005. I drove down to Mississippi to meet up with my friend, Eddie Willis.
I went to pick up his guitars that we have on exhibit and do an interview.

Eddie talked about one of the scenes in the movie "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". As a young child he was very poor and was making his own musical instruments.
