Musings
Articles and thoughts from the mind of Deke
RIP Randy Richter
Randy was a seriously great German rockabilly guitarist, and was especially talented in figuring out the way that the guitar parts and the guitar tones were achieved on many of our favorite records.
Henry Horenstein’s Miles and Miles of Texas
I was excited to receive an advance copy of Henry Horenstein’s excellent new book of photography dedicated to the Lone Star State, Miles and Miles of Texas.
RIP Tom Ward
Tom drove vintage hearses and could discuss literature and history and was funny as hell; I’ll remember his cheerful laugh and big, toothy smile more than anything else.
