Another in the marvelous series of Duane pics from Central Park, July 21, 1971.
Wail on, Skydog!
BTW, my book's in the mail. Did you order yours?
UPDATE:
An interview with the author! Please see this post.
I believe that is the first time I have noticed a crucifix on Duane. I'll bet he had no idea that was a million dollar guitar he was playing. Thanks Donnah !

Posted by: Donnah at October 4, 2006 12:47 PMOf the now 3 Duane "Wednesday pics" I've see here, this is the best yet; it's how I always picture him when I listen to him play.
Me too, Paco. And that's a shirt I hadn't noticed before.
Thanks D

That's a cross, Owen. A crucifix still has Jesus nailed up.
"A crucifix *still* has Jesus nailed up."
awright, from your response am I to assume that ALL
'crosses' are post-nailed ??? I never noticed any
bloodstains or nail holes... Good point, though..damn, when did my stuff get scanned so tight ?
I'm just glad Mama A, or somebody got to the old man...

Posted by: csason at October 5, 2006 07:21 AMHi there,
I guess the crucifix diesn't necessarily say anything about Duane's religious beliefs. But it does hint at a spiritual inclanation. And I believe it's the spiritual quality of his music that still attracts so many after so any years. Also, watching the ABB Bacon Theatre DVD, it's like his spirit is hovering over the band. Awesome indeed.
Bedtime in Holland, greetings,
Peter
Got my book yesterday. I was tempted to take the day off to read it, but I need the $.
