Danny Gatton: The Telemaster Archives DANNY GATTON: -The Humbler -Son, husband, father, & friend -The last word in shred roots Tele abuse -The world's greatest unknown guitar player (but which famous one could outplay him?)

I have collected information about Danny's recordings, television/radio appearances, and print articles in my little red notebook for several years.

'Funhouse', the first new Big Mo/Flying Deuce release is now available. This is a live date from 1988 at the Birchmere, with the full Funhouse band and special guest Buddy Emmons. In addition to Danny & Buddy, the band includes Barry Hart on drums, John Previti on bass, Billy Windsor on rhythm guitar/vocals, Chris Battistone (composer of 'Red Label') on trumpet, Bruce Swaim on tenor sax, Phil Berlin on tenor sax, and John Jensen on trombone.

It sounds pretty darn good! There are two errors in the liner notes. 'Song of India' is listed as 'Land of Make Believe' and 'Melancholy Serenade' is listed as 'Harlem Nocture'. These errors do not detract from the great performance. Ed Eastridge of Big Mo gave me a special link so I'd get credit for referrals, but my browser won't post it in its entirety! Oh well, just use the regular link instead: TWO NEW BOOKS ABOUT DANNY GATTON The long-awaited biography, 'Unfinished Business: The Life & Times of Danny Gatton' by Ralph Heibutzki (Backbeat Books) has finally been released.

290 pages about Danny, expanded from Ralph's cover story for Vintage Guitar. Covers all phases of his life and legacy. I can't say it included all the details I wouldhave wanted to see, but the author does a good job given the editorial restrictions,and in light ofthe fact that some sources declined to be interviewed for the book.

It is definitely a good read. He is also kind enough to include a revew of this little site (which made my year). Django Dumpdata Unable To Serialize Database.
