With Will Stenberg

Welcome to Behind the Bar where host Ginger Murray delves into the best and the worst stories of being on the job told by those people who serve the drinks and the celebration, the lessened loneliness and the moments in between. 
The world comes to us and we want to share a little bit of our world with you. 

In this episode: Marlon the Man, Henry Rollins, quarantine, some bikers, a butterfly knife, Russ the Veteran of Vietnam and all the different ways that medicine can be. 

Will Stenberg is a poet, musician and bartender.
Hailing from Mendocino, California he currently lives in Portland, Oregon. A land of great dive bars and even groovier - bartenders.

~Though we've never actually met, I grew up in Oregon and it was in Portland that I first fell in love. Portland is a great river town with all the redolent sadness that entails and yet, the steady rolling on.
Though I long ago left that town, I love its old buildings and radical Hope.

Speaking of, here is the post that got Henry Rollins' all fired up.
