I talk to Kyle Orla of K.O. String works in Duluth, MN. We geek out on YouTube and being a touring musician. Then, at the end, we geek out for 20 minutes about 90 – 100+ year old guitars.
Kyle is a folk musician and educator, specializing in dexterous fingerstyle and hard driving American folk music.
