I was looking for…
I stuck with it… I found one of the
photos I was looking for…
I would have liked poppa willis to have posted this up on the n-Track photo page… when the “Old” photos were being posted…
The guitar player is the “All In The Game” (Russell) playing that beautiful Jaguar Guitar…
So…
You wantta know where the photo was… 
?
EH…
Oo.Kk.
Bill…
I love old pictures like this. Who is all in the picture? (I missed out on the “why” you were looking for it.)
Look at all the really great stuff! The Fenders and Gibson. The drums don’t look like a major brand, but the mic looks familiar. It’s funny how some things (like mics) have been drastically improved through the years, but some things haven’t really improved at all, and in some ways aren’t as good (Gibson).
Anyone notice the brushes on the kick?
n-Track Foto Page
Done for ya Bill…
Phoo… most of the drummers I know wouldn’t have a clue what to do with brushes on a drum set. Unless it was painting fire and brimstone on 'em! 
They use 75 year old California Coast Redwoods to play with…

LOGS!
One of the guys I work with is a heavy-speed-death metal drummer. He saw the sticks I use and called them logs. I use 5B. He uses 7A. This are pencil stick in my opinion. Funny that he’s be using thin sticks and I’d be using what I consider to be middle of the road. That’s sort of backwards from what I’m used to, when remembering the drummers I’d run across when I was on the road. I was using the lightest of the bunch back in the 70’s and 80’s.
2S…those are LOGS! (marching band sticks)
Brushes is a lost art. I did a country album years ago and all I played was brushed on a corrigated cardboard box. Sounded MUCH better than on a drum for that stuff.
My buds eldest step-son use to play drums for us at church years ago. We didn’t have a screen and the kid used logs. He was so loud everybody complained. We got him a few pair of “Hot Rods”… after the first service, his kit looked like a saw-mill accident! HAH!

Bill, that is a great picture.
The guitars are great but I want the amps!
Awsum Pic Bill! Was you getting ready to do a Chuck Berry Duck Walk there buddy?
You can have the amps Tom, gimme the geetars! 
Hi Yaz:
Ain’t that Awsum…
Now that I think back over those times, Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters and that flavor of Mississippi Blues was Big Time Music around these parts…
That style of music was on our play lists… However, we couldn’t play the part on the stage…
Bill Haley was Big back then and the Beetles hadn’t arrived on the scene yet…
If I remember, there were British fronts getting radio play…
Like Cliff Richards…
I’m trying to remember some other names…
Vocally, we covered British Fronts better than we did Southern Swamp…
It was the Ventures that we did tribute to…
We did lots of Roll Over Beethoven…
There was a Memphis Bass Player that worked at the Sunn Record Studio…
He played much of the Rock-and-Blues Projects that came outta there…
What was his name ? …
BoY…
That guy was great…
Bill…
Quote:
What was his name
? .. BoY.. That guy was great.. Stan Kessler??
Isn’t that something?
If Stan Kessler did sessions at Sunn I know I heard him on records
However, I am unable to place him…
This guy played an early-early version of Precision Bass…
One with a copper pickguard… T.J. Hooker ?
Is my memory fading…
?
I believe this guy played with BB King in the early days… However, I’m not positive of that…
Does that help?
MmAaNn…

Aaaa, YEAH! Bill!
D yer nutz! (Well not your nuts) - you know what I mean.
John Lee Hooker ? (Not bass though)
I’m gonna remember who that Bass player was…
I don’t think he’s with us anymore…
That really gets me…
when I am unable to remember names…
There’s a bunch of guys that I played with over the years that has the same affliction…
When we chinwag…
and they can’t remember a name…
My head drops and I say…
I know who you mean…
Bill…
His nickname was Ducky…
If you did tracks at Sunn
and you didn’t use these guys on your sessions, you missed something… This was before Les Paul AND multi-track recording, back then…
There were other guys you needed/must use on your sessions… BUT Bass Players and Drummers became must have instruments/players…along with …
who was the B-3 Player??
[EDIT]
No one has ever equaled Gene Roddenberry’s idea to a Science Fiction TV Series… Scotty would say… “I can’t hold her Jim… She’s breaking up”…
Booker T and The MG’s with Donald “Duck” Dunn on bass?
Or was it TJ Hooker and Donald Duck on bass . . . .? ? ? ?
I was gonna be smart and post that I had remember’d his name…
You won two-and-a-half cold HotDogs…
with nothin on 'em…
and no lemonade…
I was talking on the phone late this afternoon with a life-long friend… He’s in better health than I… We talked about who was the teacher that taught us in grade three…
We couldn’t remember who she was… So…
We’re on level ground, on that…
but when I asked him who was the bass player at Sunn Records he blurted out Donald “Duck” Dunn…
It was T.J. Hooker and the MG’s…(edit) Where’s my memory… ? Again… You are right…
He said
his nickname wasn’t Ducky…
It was “Duck”…
He knows most of the music history of the Southern
Swamp/Rock-and-Blues and all… He’s a great Buddy Holley Fan…
He was a Texan…
I didn’t know… I thought more of a Northern Yankee…
I told him I was at the BB King concert that night back in’78 when he did a Back-to-back sold-out double concert… without Lucile…
He couldn’t get tickets for it (the Concert)…
What a night that was…
Bill…
Well when ya said Ducky, only bass player I knew of with a Duck nickname was D. Dunn. the you said TJ Hooker, so I figured Booker T and The MG’s, since Duck played bass with em.
Just a note, the band was on the Eric Clapton Crossroads DVD, 2006 I think, backing up Joe Walsh doing Funk #49 and Rocky Mountain Way. And Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper were in the Blues Brothers Movie, Still one of my favorite movies of all time.
