Twin Cities-based singer/songwriter Paul Metsa opens his new show tonight at the Phoenix Theater in Minneapolis. It includes his original composition "Jack Ruby," which is a song he performed live for the first time at Farm Aid in Dallas in 1993.

He discusses that in his new show, which combines his life story and music.

Metsa talked with Morning Edition producer Jim Bickal about the show, which is drawn from his book "Blue Guitar Highway."
