The Best Laid Plans...

I'd intended to post more frequently last week. Alas, family illnesses took control...

I emailed our WSDC constituency last week promising more background about our April 7 band jam members. Here goes:

Which of the band jam participants played with the late Danny Gatton? Who was Danny Gatton and why is it significant that someone played with him? Take a listen.

John Previti played with Danny for about 18 years. You can listen/watch a Previti solo at YouTube

Previti, Barry Hart and Bruce Swaim can be heard backing up Gatton on this sweet video at YouTube

John Jensen, Hart, Swaim, and Previti are listed on this video. I believe it's also Billy Hancock standing to Gatton's right. YouTube

Billy Hancock wrote the cover song and sang lead vocals on the "American Music" release of Danny and the Fat Boys. Steve Wolf played bass on the Opus De Funk cut. You can hear clips on Amazon

More about Danny Gatton can be found on Wikipedia
