Busy Quacker
As Boomer said in his blog, it’s getting a bit busy for Ducky. Now that the band is a quartet, rather than a quintet, I’m playing a lot more guitar, and switching around instruments a lot more. The upside is that it makes us a much tighter band.
Got a big rush a week or so ago, just a couple of nights before our last weekend gig at Group Therapy in Longmont on the 27th and 28th of July. I watched Jonathan Demme’s fantastic concert film “Heart of Gold” with Neil Young… on the “special features” disc, his guitar tech (who also plays in the band… VERY VERY WELL I might add) talked about some of the great instruments Neil uses. As I was watching him talk about the Martin that used to belong to Hank Williams, I looked longingly at “Lolly” my ’53 Gibson J-45, hanging on the wall, naked and stringless. I dug out a set of Martin Special Lights and gave Lolly the first set of strings she’s had in over ten years… then I played… and played for hours.
Wow!
Come see us on Friday at the Boulder County Fair… 6:30 – 8:00 PM on the Free Stage… here’s a map.
Quack!
