Rare footage of Gatton at home in the early eighties. He shows the unidentified other player how to play Flatt and Scruggs' Farewell Blues. Note the newish condition of his famed 53 Telecaster here as well as the early single blade Barden pickups.

  • Every bit the genius that was Lenny Breau. Each time I think I've discovered the most outrageous clip of DG, I find another dredged up from the bottomless well of guitar artistry that was Danny Gatton. Did the 2 of them ever record anything together ??

  • @washit1st I believe that there is a bootleg of Danny and Lenny playing together at the Cellar Door.... but I heard a DG enthusiast say how disappointing a show it was owing to the fact that Lenny was drunk during the gig.

  • Man I wish I could have had a time to jam with him like that...very cool...of course I did get that once with Scotty Anderson...life changing.

  • @Chromatype Jamming with Scotty Anderson! Scary!

  • Chris Sonnenberg on the strat. ;)

  • @chiefspy1 Yes - I believe so. Chris confirmed it himself on the tdpri forum.

  • This is not a "Flatt & Scruggs" tune, it was a jazz standard written (or at least copyrighted & published) in 1922 by Leon Roppolo, Paul Mares and Elmer Schoebel of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, with lyrics later put to it by George Brunies. (Elmer Schoebel published "Bugle Call Rag", another Scruggs banjo classic that same year.)

  • that is the coolest version of that old tune i've ever heard!!
