Front Porch Radio - History's Hook

Dez Dickerson was a guitar prodigy.  In 1979, he earned the spot of lead guitarist for Prince and was a founding member of Prince and the Revolution.  His solo in the song "Little Red Corvette" is considered by Guitar World Magazine to be the 64th greatest of all time.  Leaving Prince and the Revolution, he continued his musical career while also following a pathway to religion.  Today, he is the leader of "We Are Here" Church in Columbia.  Join Tom Price and Lake Stallcup as they spend an hour with one of History's Hook's most fascinating guests.
