IV Band, but guys came and went. John Piper
would be their one week, Tom Bussan from the
Natives would play, Rocky Androssio – a lot of
guitar players from that era came and went.
But I was there all the time. Nutsy was one
of our drummers.
Nutsy is pretty much his own guy; he does
what he wants to do. Well he wanted to
go to a party one Saturday night when
we were playing, so he called me and
said he wanted the night off. I said I
don’t have anybody to play drums.
And he said, “I really want to go to
this party.” I said I don’t care; I don’t
have anybody to play drums. You’re the drummer
you gotta show up.
He came to the gig and about 11:30. He walks up
to me, hands me his sticks and says, “I’m going
to the party. I’ll see ya.” And walks out the door.
Sooo. I have to stumble through the rest of the
night playing drums and I’m not a drummer, but
I could somewhat keep a beat. I managed to do
that. Then at 2:30 in the morning I packed up all
his drums, put them in cases and carried them
out to my car. As I’m just getting ready to leave,
Nutsy pulls up with this friend of his right next to
my car, rolls down the window and says, “Hey,
Dick, where’d you get all those drums?”
Honest to god, if I could have gotten out of the
car fast enough I would have turned his car right
over on its side. Of course, he took off like a shot.
But I had a lot of fun playing. It was just a good
time. And that’s why Rewind is such a treat for
me.
John Moran, guitar and harmonica player for
Longshot, Saddletramp and The Mississippi
Band.
John Moran: One of my most memorable experiences
as a musician came in 1980. I was playing
e Hummel, Duane Fudge, Mark Oberfoell, Bill (Cricket)
in the Saddletramp band with Mike Mason on
bass and the late Andy Krayer on drums and
the late Bruce Brezeale on guitar, peddle steel
and fiddle. We were the opening act for Hank
Williams Jr. at three concerts – one in LaCrosse,
Wisconsin, one in Cedar Rapids and the final
night on a Monday at Five Flags here in Dubuque.
We were the house band at the Club 26 in East
Dubuque at the time and announced from the
stage at Five Flags that the Club 26 would be
open that night and we would be playing. We

had hopes that Hank would come over and
jam with us.
Sure enough, his bus shows up and parks behind
the club. The club was packed and there
was a little trepidation about getting Hank to the
stage, but some makeshift security guys were put
together and Hank was escorted to the stage.
Sadly, I only got to play one song with him and
then handed my guitar off to Hank’s guitar player.
Hank played for about a half hour or more. It
turned out to be one rockin’, unforgettable night
at the Club 26.
