World talking about playing that guitar and that show and all that stuff. There’s a site for that. There’s, you know, a link for that on, ac- tually all that stuff you can get from links on my website
sonnymoorman.com and sonny-
moorman.net, either one. There’s links for all that stuff. That’s gotta be one of my top days.
Yeah, that guitar, that Gold Top’s gotten around, espe- cially since 2009, with the fortieth anniversary Beacon Run of the Allman Brothers. I was sitting at home watch- ing it on that thing that Butch came up with called Moogis. I had it going through Bose speakers and I was sitting there at my home and writing, concert re- views every night of the Beacon without even being there. You know, I was in Greenville, South Carolina. I wasn’t in New York. But it was like being there because I had the real good speakers and everything every night and the live feed and everybody that came out during that run, any guitar players, you know, everybody played Duane’s guitar, from San- tana to Clapton to Susan Tedeschi to Derek of course and yeah, Los Lobos guys and on and on. And so it already had, you know, a mojo about it to start with then after all that it was like truly special. So when Richard Brendt brought it out back in April and just took it and handed it to me, I was like… it was like holding an egg or something. I was like scared I was going to crack it, you know? (Laughs) It’s just got… I don’t know, it’s a very special instrument.
It is. Kind of centerpiece there at the Big House Museum.
It is. Well, it’s interesting in my case but the guitar actually belongs to a fellow named Scott Lamar.
Yeah. Scott Lamar is the employer of my drummer’s childhood best friend. So I was already hip to the guitar and the ownership and I’d already kinda got a pass on using the guitar through Scott’s friend Kyle who’s Dave’s friend as a kid. They’re all from like - Kyle and Dave are all from like Greenville, Ohio, or Arcada and Kyle worked for Scott, or still works for Scott for all I know and so I was connected to it in that sense too and Scott himself told me, you know, I was talking about playing it and I fig- ured, “Well man, that’s just too awesome” and he goes “Play that guitar like you own it. Play it. Don’t mince around with it, play it.” And I would like to think that I took him at his word. You should take a moment and have a look at some of those videos from Gabba Show of me playing it. Me and that guitar, we had a thin. (Laughs)
Oh yeah We had a torrid love affair (Laughing) for an hour or so.
