Singing with Deke Dickerson and the WHIPPERSNAPPERS at Gene’s country club

Описание: I got the awesome opportunity to jam with, Deke Dickerson and the WHIPPERSNAPPERS at Gean’s country club in Pevely, Missouri.❤️

This place is one of a few true honky-tonks located in the Midwest.🎶
Ran by country singer and songwriter Gean Davis‘s son, Randy Davis.
While there, Randy Davis blessed me by giving me one of his old stage jackets.🙏

I sang two songs, Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud loud music by, Joe and Rose Lee Maphis. And pick me up on your way down by Charlie Walker.🎶

I had a little microphone problem in the first song, but we got it fixed quickly.🎤

When it comes to rockabilly music, Deke Dickerson is one of them that’s keeping it alive.😎

Dickerson was born in St. Louis, Missouri. After playing in several local rockabilly bands, Deke formed The Untamed Youth at age 17 in his hometown of Columbia, Missouri. In 1991 he moved to Los Angeles and joined Dave Stuckey to form the Dave & Deke Combo, a partnership that yielded two albums and a 2005 reunion at major rockabilly festivals. Joining the Ecco-Fonics in 1998, Deke toured, signed to HighTone Records and released three albums for the label. His style incorporates country, alternative country, rockabilly, hillbilly, blues, western swing and rock 'n' roll.
Dickerson writes a regular column in Guitar Player magazine and feature articles in Vintage Guitar magazine and The Fretboard Journal. He also organizes an annual "Guitar Geek Festival" held in Anaheim, California, every January, during the NAMM Show.
He owns a Ray Butts EchoSonic, serial number 24, a rare amplifier with built-in tape echo that used to belong to Scotty Moore.
In 2018, Dickerson wrote the soundtrack for the film “Action Point”
