Welcome to the Riot. Please let me know if you are listening. It gets lonely down in the Culture Bunker.

Hey Rat-Bastard (if i may call you by first name), and all fellow freaks & weirdos, ' I hope ye have discovered Tom Wait 'Glitter and Doom'. AMAZING top to bottom in a very Waits-ian way. Live. The band is just totally JAW DROPPER! Including a killer version of "Get Behind The Mule". Sayin'

1:54 PM, October 18th, 2023
Johnny Loan
Mule never guess the theme today

2:07 PM, October 18th, 2023
IanJ
Hey Renny! Thanks for all the lovely mule tunes today. And a thanks to Johnny Loan for that groaner!

"Mule Train", incredible sound there. One of the first songs I ever heard on a recorded player. "Sixteen Tons" was another one. Nice cover by Mr. Dawson. Roy Buchanan

2:15 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Wait until you here the Hard Feelings cover of the Roy Buchanan instrumental.

2:17 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
I remember seeing Roy Buchanan at the Ottawa Civic Centre n about 1972. He was playing a 40 pound marble bodied Telecaster. Incredible sustain on those notes. Years later saw him at Barrymore's a couple of times before he died. i

2:21 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, Evan Johns....those Telecaster players from the D.C. area seemed to be doomed.

2:30 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
Very true Renny. Also with those players, the tone all in the fingers, not a pedal board to be seen. (or rather heard)

2:36 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Thank goodness Link Wray played a Gibson.

2:38 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
My goodness my typing is bad today. Should read: "the tone is all in the fingers"

Renny G (host)
Did you know that neither Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown nor Albert Collins played with a pick?

2:47 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
Ha ha yes,.

2:47 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Special thanks to Rockin' Rioteer Nancy, for lending me the Greg Demchuck & The Du-Rite Aces recordings.

2:51 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
Did not know that about either musician. Gatemouth is (was ?) also a fine fiddle player, plays it country style tucked against his abdomen.

2:54 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Yeah, Gatemouth died in 2005. He also played mandolin (with which he used a pick).

3:03 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
I'm learning more about Gatemouth. I think he had weed in that pipe he smoked.

3:08 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Oh yeah, sometimes. He was quite the character. Great sense of humour.

3:10 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
We would rather be at Rockaway Beach that Rat Beach. For those who might not know: "Rockaway Beach is a neighborhood on the Rockaway Peninsula in the New York City borough of Queens." This is one of the great "Dee Dee" songs.

3:11 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
That guy Simon Chardiet lives a block away from Rockaway Beach. He surfs nearly every day. He supplements his income by teaching surfing and practicing upright bass on the boardwalk.

Donny T MAG
usin' a pick 's like wearin' a rubber...

3:21 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
You've tied it all together beautifully. I know Brian Wilson never surfed, I wonder if Dee Dee did? Great show, thanks.

3:21 PM, October 18th, 2023
Frankie
Ha ha Donny, I tend to agree.

3:23 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Joey Ramone used to surf.

3:27 PM, October 18th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Thank you all for listening to the show. I hope I played something you enjoyed. Have a good week.

About "Ford", I just heard your comment. Never mind mine.
