Musings
Articles and thoughts from the mind of Deke
At Gene’s Country Club in Pevely
We played outside St. Louis tonight at an amazing venue: Gene’s Country Club in Pevely. It’s a real old-time honky-tonk, out in the country on Indian Foot Lake.
Report from Toledo
Rust Belt cities in America are always a bit depressing, but I also find them endlessly fascinating. I’ve never had a chance to walk around Toledo before.
Wichita Falls, Texas, and Nesman Studios
We passed through Wichita Falls, Texas, and I had to take a little detour to see the building where Nesman recording studios used to be, back in the day. The Sprague Brothers were the first ones to tell me about Nesman Studios.
