Heritage1970 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Hey everyone! Thought you would all enjoy reading my recent interview with the great Rendal Wall that was just published. If you play guitar or even just enjoy music in any way, you owe a huge debt to this great man. For quite some time I have wanted to document Rendal's experiences and his amazing life, so it was a definite honor for me to sit down with him for this great interview recently. Thanks for all of your knowledge Rendal and everything you have done for the guitar. You truly are a living inspiration my friend. - Todd Beebe, Chicago, IL https://bg.buddyguy.com/rendal-wall-guitar-wizard/
FredZepp Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 OMG !! That is amazing. It's a lengthy interview and covers an amazing cornucopia of topics. Gibson Modernes , PLEK machines, the variety of jobs Ren had at Gibson and Heritage, HRW pickups, etc.. etc.. Those that have had the pleasure of spending any time with Ren have always said that we need a book of all of his stories... he never runs out of amazing tales. It's so good to see some of his legacy put into print. .. 5 stars for this one... thanks.
Heritage1970 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Thanks so much Fred! I appreciate that. Yeah- it was a real honor for me to speak with Rendal.
Yooper Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Fantastic interview, Todd! I recall Ren welcoming me to the precursor to "Rendal's Guitar Lounge" at the old 225 Parsons building. He called it "Ren's Pickin' Parlor".
Gitfiddler Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Well done, Todd. Great read. When is the book about Ren and Heritage coming out? If so, put me on the list to buy it. You've got skills.
skydog52 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Great Post. Thank You! In the last few years I have learned so much more about Ren and his Family. He is just salt of the earth. Someone should help him write a book about his life. He is a Wealth if information and has led a amazing life. I am so happy he came through his recent health challenges.

MichYank Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I grew up in Battle Creek and I remember when I was 4 years old sitting in my little kiddie rocking chair watching "Green Valley Jamboree" on our old black and white TV! I've thought about that many times and wondered if that's what kindled my interest in the guitar. Great interview.
Hfan Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Yes thanks that was interesting. He sounds like a great guy. A life well led for sure.
pro-fusion Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Wow, that's a great interview. Pretty amazing musical life he's led.
