He fantasizes that if he had been born 50 years earlier, he would have become a minstrel man. One of his musical heroes, Dave Van Ronk, once described himself to me as a songster. That title might suit Roy as well, his music, a reflection of his long musical journey through the rich American cultural landscape of the last half of the 20th Century.

“Nobody writes in the idiom better than Roy Book Binder. He is a master player, singer, writer and teller of tales? true tales. He wrote THE PREACHER PICKED THE GUITAR and passed it on to me. It is an honor to include it here.“- Jorma Kaukonen

“Book him. The old Bookeroo sings the blues, and he sings ’em real well. But there’s a twist. While he covers such seminal artists as Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Rev.
