My brother took this picture a long time ago in Dade City, FL. When he came through town my brother would give him $20 and a shirt from the bike shop he owned. Derek would wear the shirt and pocket the $ to feed his video game habit. I gave him $5 on Maro Island one time for video games. He said thanks, "but don't tell my dad."

i still have a copy of the cassette they gave me that weekend, Derek and the Dominators. I've since had it digitalized. Anyone want a copy? I can put it in Dropbox.

rebel flag shirt?

Man, that's a big picture. It was either that or a thumbnail. Does anyone know how to make/post it smaller?

Chang Gang Cycling Club out of Tampa area. in the days before it was non-PC to display one. The shirt had a bicycle racer (based on Greg Lemond's image) super imposed over the flag.

Thanks for reminding me how much things have changed over the last 25+ years...

Is he still playing that same guitar? 

would love to hear  derek and the dominators

Derek Trucks?   That's a cool story.  I was back in Florida many years ago watching a Jacksonville morning news program and they on a little kid who was a virtuoso slide player and the nephew of one of the Allman Brothers.   Think it was the same kid. 

What a great picture! He already had his fingering style down.Looks identical today.

I wonder if it would be ok to torrent it? I contacted his management a few years ago asking if I could and they replied that they'd rather I didn't. Guess I could hit them up again...

Derek and the Dominators kinda sounds like 80s hair band with DT playing over it.

Did not click with me, YMMV.

They had a big hair singer.

had to be in the early 90's. that's about the time i started seeing him in hickory NC. Warren's brother Brian had a record/cd store there and derek would play this little blues club in the city on a regular basis. Brian's store was the ticketmaster outlet at the time. Spent the night in the parking lot to get GD tickets for Greensboro's 3/31 & 4/1 shows in 91. something went horribly wrong with the tickets. i was about 20th in line, and after an hour or so they had only let about 10-12 people in to get tickets. tickets were gone after that first hour and there was a whole parking lot of pissed off people outside. Derek played the club that weekend.

his right eye is freaking me out

Rick, a real nice free image processor easy to use is "irfanview" ..it is freeware.

That said the night before folks who bothered remind me of latter day rail riders minus the scalpers

 

The elf and the orc?

Hell yeah, Rick, Dropbox it if you please. That would be fun to hear. And he DID give it to you, it isn't like you stealthed it without his knowledge. 

Very nice of you to offer to share this with Zoners. Hope you and the family have a great holiday.

That's rock and roll goddess speak...

Is this the same rick guy who doesn't like muslim people?
