Got to see David G play with Stephane Grapelli (ex-Hot Club France w/Django Rheinhart) at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1980, with Rob in Anchorage (small club venue) in the early 80s along with Mike Marshall and Darol Anger. Good times! Thanks for this!

As a musician myself, I really appreciate this video clip. There were several guitarists, Phil Keaggy comes to mind, who had perfected the use of the volume knob to create “bowed” sounding lines. This was an excellent example! Thanks so much for posting this!!!

Keaggy also uses an E-bow for that sound as well.

@butchgiusto9294 6 ай бұрын

Mr Wizzard has always had the ability to play “clean” or any other coloring needed. He worked hard at technique since he was a kid. I remember going over to his house when he was about 14 and he answer Reed the door with guitar slung and continuously running arpeggio exercises and carrying on a conversation without interruption. As a budding keyboard player, I went home and rededicated my time to practicing.

I don't know what's weirder, this line-up of musicians or that they got booked on the Merv Griffin Show! I saw the Dregs live in the '70s - they played all kinds of genres and styles mixed together - so not a stretch for Steve with the "Dawg" and bassist!

You saw the “dixie” dregs if it was the 70’s. As did i. The best dregs records are the original dixie dregs records. No im not some kinda souths gonna do it again dude-just no reason to change the history of their name out political correctness. If anything, their name was a parody of dixie not a celebration of it. Just sayin…

more accurately called "Dawg" music, since David "Dawg" Grisman wrote that. :) That nickname of his has become a genre of its own, describing his blend of bluegrass, swing and jazz. Dig around here on YT and you may find a video of Grisman playing this piece with his quartet plus jazz violin legend Stephane Grappelli.
