JUNE - Wayne Henderson grew up in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, where the sounds of traditional country music are a way of

of Eric Clapton. Ten years later, between jam sessions, concert dates at Carnegie Hall and delivering mail, Henderson finally
finished building Clapton's guitar - and the legend was born.
