Post #3 (So far so good)
BTW- Again, please, out of kindness, if nothing else, don't begin the apositional, evicerating counter response postings until I've at least had close to having my say...give me at least a few more posts
before the attacks & responses...I've already been sunspotted to death here----HAVE MOICY! :-)
OK, where to begin/continue...um, OK--- it's really tough to live and relive this stuff over & over again; BOTH the good & bad memories, actually ALL of these memories are defying of separation; and having to relive them in their entirety, over and over again is, in fact, cruel and unusual punishment!!
With that in mind, let me take this opportunity, to state the following: Both this post and all of my following posts, as well as Chapter 18 (in it's subject entirety) in my upcoming book entitled- "A Hard Act To Follow" are NOW Both/all dedicated to Dr. Duck!
In my almost 50 years in the music business I have never had the honor, first hand, of watching/interfacing w/an individual, let alone a Musician of serious stature, who "stood up to be counted"! Duck, believe me, after MUCH soul searching Angst, made the decision of his life----to come out from behind the "Anonimity" of a "Guest" post, and to identify himself as the "Statured" Artist that he is, with the full knowlege, that in doing so could/would absolutely impact BOTH his personal life as well as his professional career.....he made the hardest decision of his life by standing up in public and "telling the truth"! How many of you out there have EVER done such a thing?
I can say, in retrospect, that to much leser extents that I've similarly done such, but it's MUCH easier for a Record Company producer to do such, with little to no consequences, then it is for a Musician to do it with EVERYTHING on the line. I salute you Duck, forever!
How you managed to single-handedly, fend off the "slings & arrows of outrageous fortune"...is quite beyond me... if the sunspots hadn't "Bonked" me, I'd have been there too.
Next post, #4 will address my personal interface with Brozman in the early/mid seventies, and will begin the "Fahey" abuse saga, yep from MY personal experience, and then an even more personal horrific experience ALL with KNOWN Folk/Blues musicians.....umm hear me out, it's horrible, but a necessary documentation of the reality of our
"Folk/Blues" misbelief that our "Folk/Blues" heroes can do no wrong!
Sincerely
Gene R.
Next post #4, follows shortly!
