A close and enthralled audience at Skidmore College, 1971, their hair lightly cropdusted with GBG.

Posted by: Baron Thoma at November 12, 2008 07:58 PMHahah neat pic! I've never seen any like this.
One could only wonder what Duane was saying... Prob introducing a song... but what the hay...
"Naw man, we're not playin Whippin' Post yet, I got my SG out for slide gittar in the first half of the set..."
Thx Donnah,
and Wail On!
I'd like to hear the reminiscences of the guy in the bottom right-hand corner: he had a seriously good seat.
Posted by: Donnah at November 12, 2008 08:12 PMForrest, wearing the cool strap....
Posted by: Mike The Bike at November 12, 2008 08:20 PMHow come "Forrest" gets to wear the cool strap, whereas in a bunch of the earlier pics of the week, Duane's got the one that looks like it's really sawing into him?
(And why does somebody with a nice name like Forrest want to be called Dickie instead?)
Forrest looks ready, set, go to play something.
Posted by: Donnah at November 12, 2008 08:45 PMThose boys had some serious "beverages" on stage with them in this pic. No wonder Forrest looks like he's ready to go. He was "flying".
Last week the bad boy black shoes......this week the bad boy aviators......Lordy what a guy! Then to top all that off......the Boy could Wail!!!!
Thank you Donnah for another wonderful Wednesday!
Wail on, Skydog!

Posted by: Mike The Bike at November 13, 2008 11:54 AMLOL. I hadn't noticed the bottle.
Posted by: Donnah at November 13, 2008 11:59 AMMaybe he's hoping some kind audience member will be the Bottle Fairy and fill it up again with the beverage of choice.
Posted by: Starla Darling at November 13, 2008 01:21 PMNow the boys are drinking my kind of suds.Budwieser, back when it was an American beer. Great pic Donnah, Much thanks.

HAHAHAHA I laughed so hard!! Better than my imaginary quote!
One often forgets in the magic of his musicianship that Duane was a hard working band leader, and Dickie had his back.
Back in the Day. Back in the Day.
Posted by: Paco Malo at November 14, 2008 09:42 PMI'm always amazed by how much alcohol some skinny people can drink if they do it often enough to build up a tolerance. I'm short and skinny and after two strong drinks I'm a rag doll. And then there's this toothpick of a guitar player who has obviously got quite a load on board, and he can presumably still play the notes.
Amazing.
Starla, if anyone logged what was going down at Criterion Studios during the Layla sessions, it would blow our collective minds. As I understand it, they would jam, literally, for days on end.

It's not so much weight/height as it is genetic
pre-disposition, Starla Dahling..
Science may one day have a little pill for us who have the itch, but until then.. One Day at a Time.
Posted by: csason at November 15, 2008 08:38 AMNow for some reason I have that song about poppin' little white pills running through my head. Eyes are open wide...
Posted by: Starla Darling at November 15, 2008 12:08 PMI think Skydog is saying "Now look here, you long haired hippie punks. I smell marijuana out there and I will NOT have any illegal goings on during my band's presentation! Now we'd like to do a medley of the good things President Nixon has done." Well, not really, but you never know. Wail on, Skydog!
