Status Quo - Down The Dustpipe

[pinchold]

this song is a transition to the style Quo have been playing for 43 years - at last their shaved off their thin moustaches and discarded frilled shirts and they discovered rock'n'roll played in three chords. Why not?

[ManFromMelbourne]

From Australian t.v.

To be able to play the harmonica with both hands and to still keep playing the guitar with the other two hands is nothing short of incredible. Rick is a genius!

[lewisner]

Who is the guy on the keyboards?

[Thomasholst13]

@lewisner

It's Roy Lynes, he was a member of Status Quo until 1970

[lewisner]

@Thomasholst13 Thanks for the info. He looks oddly familiar.

[bigbearleeds]

Wonderful classic rock tune, but ... please can anyone tell me what exactly was meant by a 'dustpipe' in these lyrics?

[redcoat43]

the dustpipe was an unpaved road between Louisiana and Texas, that ran thru' some very arid areas in the texas portion.

[bigbearleeds]

Thanks Redcoat, I bet not too many Quo fans ever knew that.

[redcoat43]
