August 5, 2000 Dave Davies

Dave Davies is/was the lead guitarist for one of the great British Invasion bands, The Kinks.  Unfortunately more famous for feuding with his older brother, Ray, Dave is an under-appreciated guitarist.

In August of 2000, he stopped by the Q104.3 studios and in the days before radio stations had fancy performance spaces, one simply applied two vocal mics to the artist playing and went live.

(Update: an earlier version of this piece had me mixing the brothers up.  Late night writing and all.)
