The interplay between him and Rob Sandiford is magic, with everyone else supporting a fine "Midnight Special" evening at The Urban Homestead in Pasadena on a Hootenanny night. Look ma, no microphones! No sound system! Real organic food and music.

We worked really hard at making sure the sound was really fine. A very nice Ear Trumpet Labs microphone and a Bose PA was utilized and the musicians were great.

This is one of his early performances with Michael Puccini way back in 2009. They hadn't gotten it all smoothed out yet, but their interaction on stage is precious.

"Somebody Sing Me A Song" would just occasionally pop out of him. Here he is performing at The Coffee Gallery at the Open Mic he used to host from about 2009-11. It looks like he is playing Jim Barille's guitar for a change. Jim is very protective of that guitar. <br />This also shows the lovely stage built by Dave Ray for this cubby of The Coffee Gallery, so we had a "Stage" set aside for events that happened in the front window. We used to call this space and the events that happened there the "Frontstage" as opposed to the "Backstage", which was and is still happening in the back through a special door by Bob Stane.

This song was written by Gary White, best known for writing "Long Long Time". Too bad Duane seldom did the song.<br />

I don't know any other way to let you know, dear reader. He will be sorely missed. <br />
<br />
His memorial was at The Ice House in Pasadena, where he spent many happy and invigorating times. It happened on May 27th from 1-5PM. It was videoed by several sources, and I am currently getting the raw footage and will post videos on YouTube and link to them here for your easy enjoyment.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, or contributions of photos, stories, videos, or complete fabrications, please send me an email as I am compiling these bits for this website and for those who are interested in future Duane related events. I am planning on having a show of his music performed by some of his illustrious friends in the future - keep tuned. And keep tuned to my Facebook page - as well as Duane's.<br />
