Hello my beautifuls
Do I have a story for you today! Lastnight I went to Ginger's Pub again to take in Sherry Ryan's CD Release party... Anyway we'd heard good things about Sherry so I was excited but once we got there Duane Andrews was playing lead guitar for her band!
Now I first discovered Duane as a "Whiskey Kitten" with Jenny Gear and her band The Whiskey Kittens... Anyway I emailed Duane in the spring and he replied and told me the chords to a song and invited me to go watch him in Sackville NB, but I couldn't attend... So seeing him lastnight was wicked awesome. I introduced myself and after reminding him of the email he was like "AH YEA man did you ever figure those chords out?" So we talked for about 10 minutes and he's just a wicked cool fella. He's always being compared to Django Reinhardt who is a classic gypsy guitarist because he follows Djangos style... Well while talking about guitar he pointed out that the acoustic he was playing was "a sort of guitar Django would have play" Obviously an important figure to Duane.
Anyway Sherry Ryan put on a great show but once I noticed Duane it became the Duane Andrews show.. the fella plays a mean guitar. Great night overall dispite the rainy walk home and the thunder shaking my windows... I may make one thread to post all of my stories since we've got two seperate stories this week
