some people are just born to do something in life. MLKJ was born to lead against racism, jona salk was born to cure polio, roger daltry was born to sing, and DT was born to play guitar
The only ting you need to know is his dad played with the dude on his t shirt and he grew up listening to the greatest slide guitarist ever period.And yes that is Hendrix's Who Knows.
In 1982, my buddy invited me to go with him to see this kid play at a little local club in Forest City, FL called Spirits. He told me the kids was 12 (probably 13 by then). I expected to see a kid mimicking something he learned. You know, a gimmick to get people to show up. What I saw blew me away. The kid had soul, feel, and would jam for hours if they didn't keep interrupting him with the rest of the band! Between sets, when the band was drinking, he was playing pinball. Derek's awesome!
he probably didn't even know what sex was at this point but he's playing like someone who's bedded hundreds of women, this guy is so sick. Going to DTB later this evening!
Wikipedia says his birthday is June 1979 if you do the math according to your video title date 1991 08 Actually Ihe is 13 here, But who cares.
