Coytee Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 There is no prize, but I'm wondering if anyone can figure out who this is and what song he's playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Mark Knopfler would sometimes wear a puffy shirt in the early/mid 80's, played a similar strat.. Romeo and Juliet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Danny Gatton was a master on a Telecaster... but I dont think he wore "the puffy shirt". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Is it Jerry Seinfeld playing the theme from Friends? Edited April 11, 2016 by DizRotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 So far, no to all the above. Wrong person, wrong song. He is in a band and the band is NOT named after him (so it would be sort of like "Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits" however, it isn't him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Most of us grew up with his/their music on the radio. (I guess it depends on when you grew up!) I can guarantee that most of you (and especially if over 50) have heard the song he's playing in the picture before. Band was popular.

Ceptorman Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The original pic was a Telecaster, don't know who was playing. Danny Gatton was a master on a Telecaster... but I dont think he wore "the puffy shirt". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Nope, not Keith Richards. Here's a hint... I'll bet that DeanG would either know or figure it out in 5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I'll bet that DeanG would either know or figure it out in 5 minutes Then, perhaps it's Joey Levine of Ohio Express playing Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
