The DTB website does say everything was insured so no worries there. Some of the gear is irreplaceble due to uniqueness. It only mentions Atlanta as well and that covers a lot of ground. Bill, I make it a point not to be anywhere near Atlanta as much as possible. That and Orlando, fine cities just way to congested for me. | ||

A shame. I was just reading about some of that same gear in this month's Guitar Player (Derek is the cover and featured interview). | ||

Me too, Bill. I really enjoyed the article. I had no idea that he was married to Susan Tedeschi. I'm not too familiar with her stuff, but may download a couple songs from the Apple Store. | ||

I was surprised to learn who he was married to as well. | ||

I highly recommend DTBs latest CD, Songlines. Probably his best work to date. I really like the Live release he put out a couple of years ago too. Derek and the band seem to be firing on all cylinders with the new release. It's very soulful for a rather young guitar player. DTB has over 450 concert recordings on the archive too - not too many SBDs after about 2002 but some nice stuff. Tom |
