Lost in the rabbit hole of Utube music videos on a lazy Sunday and ran across a 1981 Solid Gold version of Hot Rod Hearts (no smart *** comments required) and there is the lead guitarist in what looks like a State sweatshirt. Did a little digging out of curiosity and a Dennis Herring is credited for playing on the song. Turns out he left Saltillo after high school to be a studio musician in LA in the mid 70's for 5 or 6 years then became a pretty big producer in LA and Seattle. Said there was "a thing" about the south and after 40 years built another studio (Sweet Tea) in Oxford. Wondered if anyone knows or heard of him?
It was also about that time that Herring realized that he missed the land he couldn't wait to leave when he was younger. "I'd find myself thinking about how the South kind of has this thing, and how people all over the world long to have a thing," he said. "And the South actually has one, and I missed that.
Might be worth a watch if for no other reason than Marilyn McCoo is the host. She was certainly way high on my list back in the day. Assuming that's him and that is actually a State sweatshirt, interesting choice of wardrobe for national TV. (hoping not another grass clippings as well)
