In this episode of Storycomic Presents, I sit down with guitarist, educator, and musical storyteller Paul Asbell, whose memoir Stages weaves together 32 essays, archival photos, and QR-linked music to chronicle his extraordinary journey—from playing with legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf in Chicago to teaching blues and jazz at UVM and Middlebury. We dive into the tales behind the pages, the deep connections to musical history, and how his life story resonates both on and off the stage. Tune in for a passage through musical time and heartfelt reflection.
