The Delta Queen's Waltz with Korel Tunador and Phat Man Dee

Korel and I used to play together alot. He is a consummate musician. When he lived in Pittsburgh, not only did he play in my band, The Liquitones, but also in Crisis Car, The Crawling Low Band, The Johnsons , just to name a few. Since moving to the Los Angeles area he has toured with Charlie Mars, Wicked Wisdom, and currently with the Goo Goo Dolls. On a recent visit to Pittsburgh our schedules found time for each other at Beth Claussen's vocal studio in Highland Park. This was filmed November 26, 2007 by Beth Claussen and edited by me, Phat Man Dee. I have never actually ridden the Delta Queen, but I sure hope to sing to her in person one day. This song is one of our favorites and was one we played at our regular gigs together, John Hartford is the composer, and I guess it takes one American treasure to write such a pretty song for another. Also the photo of the Queen at port at :10 on the video counter is by Franz Neumeier.

@cyberstuff It's true, and when not with the Goo Goos, he plays with Katy Perry. I am immensely proud of him.

I can well believe it, she is lucky to have him, he is an amazing player and a beautiful soul, which is why I had him tattooed on my left arm.

Very nice. Had a wonderful couple days aboard the "docked" Delta Queen earlier this summer in Chattanooga, TN. Lovely structure. Would love to see her on moving from city to city again.
