King of Cafe Carpe

Bill Camplin

Bill Camplin co-presides at the Fort Atkinson, WI, cafe, bar, and listening room called Cafe Carpe. Occasionally you'll see him performing there (as well as other places, and in addition to a load of other fine musicians) with his consummate guitar, voice, and lyrics, and with a mix of folk and rock-influenced tunes. And an awesome sense of humor.

Comments

Just a note to say that I enjoyed the format and edited transcript of our conversation. It was a good interview and we went places most people do not go in my long, though infrequent, history of doing interviews. Thank you for affording me a chance to find out what comes out of me when asked interesting questions.
