Musings

Thanks to my old pal Porkypine Paton for hipping me to this Bobby Lord TV show episode on YouTube. It’s a guitar geek’s dream!

One of the most iconic Mosrite guitars in rock music history was a white ’66 Ventures model owned by Fred “Sonic” Smith of the MC5.

I feel compelled to share this image and let you know I will never, ever, ever get an Adam’s apple tattoo.

As I began to back up out of the long driveway, we probably hadn’t got more than thirty feet when I looked over at Chris. His pant legs were covered with literally thousands of swarming red ants.

The fellas in Los Straitjackets and I have been discussing “hipster hotels,” “boutique hotels,” whatever you want to call them.

Travis Wammack was one of the greatest guitar players you never heard of. He was a Memphis guy, originally discovered as a child prodigy by Eddie Bond in the 1950s.

Another very long and very productive day in the studio today, making four different music videos with myself and the Whippersnappers!

A few minutes in to my first-ever live performance, a heckler yelled at me: “PLAY STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!”

I’m going to start a new series on YouTube. I haven’t decided if I’m going to call it “Live from Deke’s House” or “Deke’s House of Music” or what…

I was honored by Geoff Fullerton (the son of George Fullerton, one of the important early Fender guitar guys) to participate in a video interview for his upcoming documentary and book.
