An Acoustic Companion 2-5-2026

In today’s episode of An Acoustic Companion, I have featured the wonderful acoustic Blues guitarist and singer, Nick Charles and two superb Melbourne singer-songwriters, Les Thomas and Jason Vorherr. In reference to Jason’s new song, Arnold, I gave you some incorrect information. Arnold Dix was not involved in the rescue of the young soccer players, trapped in an underground cave in Thailand. Arnold and his team were responsible for the successful rescue of 41 miners involved in a tunnel collapse in India. Sorry about mixing up those two historic rescues. Anyway,, I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did presenting it to you. It's a slightly extended edition of An Acoustic Companion today.
