He&amp;rsquo;s here to work on a very special Les Paul with a cool backstory, and he&amp;rsquo;ll tell us how his PhD influences his musical efforts.&amp;nbsp; While he and our host Patrick Grant re-string their guitars, we&amp;rsquo;ll hear how Anthony&amp;rsquo;s parents played a pivotal role in his early days as a musician, and we&amp;rsquo;ll find out what riffs and records inspired Anthony&amp;rsquo;s blues-based approach to his own playing.
