Chris,
Too be honest I haven't seen Deke live yet, but now that he's
emailed me I'm going to his next show here in Chicago. I've been a
fan of the Untamed Youth for awhile, but don't know much of what
he's doing lately. My band the Reluctant Aquanauts hosted Jimmy
Sutton's Big C Jamboree, and I got to talking with him and we both
seem to like traditional sounding music, him even more so than me.
Anyway he's doing a small rockabilly side project and I may be
playing the guitar in it. Alot of the music is almost too old for
my tastes, but it sure is good stuff and alot of fun. Plus, I'm
honored to play with this guy, his talent is amazing.
