Halloween Bowie Set
Over this past weekend I spent some time working on the David Bowie songs we’ll be playing at the Dudley Manlove Quartet’s “Scary Monsters Halloween Ball”. We’re doing a bunch of great songs and it’s always interesting to learn the guitar parts from these classic tunes. Over the year, Bowie has been visited by pantheon of guitar deities: Mick Ronson, Earl Slick, Robert Fripp, Carlos Alomar, Peter Frampton, Reeves Gabrels, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Torn, and Adrian Belew. Recreating the tones and notes of such distinctive guitarists is a treat, and it’s something I approach with respect and admiration. I’m always amazed to look at the long career Bowie has had, and consider that during all these varied decades, he’s remained musically relevant and a trendsetter. I regard him as one of the most influential and important musicians of the past 50 years. Halloween will be great fun and I am really looking forward to playing these songs. Join us for a fun night of music and dancing.
