With a whammy bar…

Some time ago, I picked up a very-well-taken-care-of Norma six-string from a local guy. It never even made it home. It’s just been leaning up against the wall next to my desk at work. It’s always had a problem, a blemish of sorts. No whammy bar. I guess it’s just always been that way.

Movin’ On

The Depot Creek Stringband lost one of its fans this week. John Peterson of Gaylord died Sunday. He was a big of fan of classic country, and was always in the audience when we played in Gaylord.

Good for us admirers […]

Kraut Fest

Here I was, waking up every morning thinking Depot Creek was the only group writing songs about Henderson. I was incorrect and misleading.
Last weekend we played a festival; and that’s what it felt like, an all-out music festival, just a lot smaller. The Kraut Kickoff, in downtown Henderson, was the start of Henderson’s Music […]
