Papa Paul Muth

February 9, 2010

personal friend from 1972, although Jay and I had a differencing of opinion one fall afternoon, I got stuck in a dirty mop up of a war, then hard bars and I don't mean a cage,keep a little scrap book when the band blew up but never could quite catch Jay to pay him back, or thank Bill C for teaching me chess or to ask where Bart ended up, or where Robbie ended up...until I found this.

"Papa" Paul Muth

February 9, 2010

Back at the early scene of the crime, Crawford Drive, Twinbrook, where Bill Culver taught me how to play chess and his bro (what ever happened to the Wizard,) Bart Culver taught me how to turn the disaster of TStorm agnes ( the midnight rip out of plants in the flood and my black 67 Mustang) into black tar ganga, the explosion when Bart lit off the Isopropyl alcohol, 1972 with Robbie Melchior, hey , Jay , I 've been chasing you for 38 years tro pay you the 2oo I still owe you for that...tell me where you're playing next , and we'll close the books. Think I've paid that 1000 times with some change, you look damn healthy and , well, I reckon we both came out okay. Tighten me up on some of those folks....38 years, now thats just when the farm got opened up, right?

Hey Roadducks, It's been a long time since the days at The Wild West Rock Theater, Copa, Jaxx or what ever they a calling it these days. Just wanted to say you guys were a big part of my growing years. Glad to see Bob, Jay, Senator still get togather a jam a few shows. I'll never forget the time Artimus Pyle said you guys "where what was keeping southern rock alive" when you opened up for Skynyrd in 87 at the Cap Centre on the tribute tour. Man lots of memories. Well keep the music alive and now I know your website I'll look for a show soon. Any chance on 1 in upstate NY? till then thanks for all the good times.

Donna

January 14, 2010

One night back in '78' I kept the beer flowing for the band (bottles though, cause someone kept eating the glasses). Anyway, came across your site and want to know if you are ever up in New England, love to come see you guys play again. I see nothing listed in your upcoming events. thanks - Donna

Hey Guys,
Was a pleasure working (drinking) w/ you guys....lol. The Dux truly whipped my ass into shape and I've very fond (blury) memories of the 2-3 yrs. I was in the band.
Wish I could find an act today that wants to work that much. Some of my all time favorite road stories come from those years. Thanks for the opportunity!!
All the best,
Kenny
PS-Not too many years ago I saw an older, disheveled black man coming out of a Salvation Army here in Nashville and he was sporting a rebel flag Get Ducked t-shirt. Now thats rock -n- roll.......

I ran into Wendy the other night at Sully's and she caught me up with the latest Duck stories. I always have fond memories of having had the chance to play with the Ducks, having been one of the many who filled the drum spot off and on from 1988-1995! You never knew what to expect at a Ducks gig! I remember my first one, I was a nobody (still am) and had landed a fill-in gig w/the famous Roadducks in the middle of BFE PA. I was excited, but nervous as hell (Bopper and Bill scared the hell outta me!). We pull up to this place off the beaten path (weren't they all?) and there were about 50 Harley's out front...I thought I was going to die, since I didn't know any of the songs, but Senator steadied me and told me not to worry..."these people couldn't even count the teeth they had left in their heads!" By the end of the night, the clientle was thanking me for fillin-in and buying me beers...what a rush, but needless to say, I was thankful to be alive...too funny!

Thanks to Jay and Bopper for the opportunities and Bill for the best sound ever...damn that kick rocked whenever you touched it! You guys were truly road warriors and I'm glad to count you as friends...I will always remember my days as a Duck drummer!

U of R, Horsefeathers, The Bitter End, etc., and the annual "Let Bopper visit his family in Connecticut tour" - I saw you guys in every state between CT and Virginia with Dollar, Bobby Lambert and Rich Coulter. I'll keep coming up to this site until I find out when the next live show will be - and I won't miss it. Jay, Bob, Senator: Glad to see you all keeping the music, (and the t-shirts) alive.

June 3, 2008

I remember you guy's havin' that yellow school bus that the breaks were always going out on it, or something else would be broken on it, off the side of the road.. to stop the thing, whoever was riding shotgun had to leap out with a cinderblock and throw it under the rear wheels of the bus..sometimes it got crushed underneath there..sometimes it actually stopped, but, always an adrenalin spike experience to say the least..
Great times!!!

Razz

May 20, 2008

Damn, I think I'm lost. Days gone by...the Copa...on stage singing the Beer song with ya...try to keep enough beer in the bar when you guys played...we actually did make the beer vendors bring exrta beer for the times you played. One time we sold out and I had to go to the local grocery to buy more. Don't tell Va. ABC. It was funny borrowing a pallate jack to get all the beer to the car!

Anyway, read some pages on you guys, saw a lot of names that bring back great memories for me, Mark C, Bopper, Senator, Buder, Jay, Phil, Jimbo, and more. Congrats on your longevity and subsequent tangents. Great to see you out here on the web!

March 2, 2008

Arron,

I was the bass player at those gigs in H'burg and Orange. I don't remember which club was in downtown H'burg but one afternoon before sound check I sneaked into the police station a couple of blocks away and lit up a bowl of hash right there in the precinct. Just had to do it.

February 23, 2008

I learned about you guys in 1987 and loved your music. Lost the cassette over the years, but I just ordered the CD. (Just heard the clip of my favorite Roadducks song, "Laughin Eyes" for the first time in over 15 years!) Saw you at the Mystic Den and the Gandy Dancer in Harrisonburg, some place (?) in Manassas, Horsefeathers (Gordonsville?) and several other places - the shows were always great. In the late 90's or early 2000's, I hit the road for a drive to clear my head and wound up in Front Royal. The marquee on a hotel said "Acoustic Road Ducks" so I had to stop. Great acoustic show, but I was one of only about 15 in the audience - I was the guy at the bar clapping loudly after each song. Glad you still get together. I live in Florida now, but I'll have to come up and catch a show at Jaxx. Thanks for the memories.

Bob- I have been looking for you! I am now the same age as you when you first met me! You look as if you have only aged a day!My first Road Duck show was 5 years before that when I briefly met Jay and Phil.

Many things have happend in the last 22 years to the Dux and rock in the area! Thanks to Jay,the whole Duck family, many other support people behind the scenes; as well as the loyal regulars we have kept rock alive & local!
(Too bad for me Skippers(Norfolk) finnaly was closed for condos;your old drive by shooting memories)Joe do I know you?
My husband wants me to burn my jaxx & rock pictures for fear my 19 month old will see them when she is older. But I say no , I have too many memories of jaxx and special ones of being with the dux and you! ROCK ON. I WILL ALWAYS BE REDROCKER IN MY HEART.

Hey Bob and or Senator, this is a friend from a long time ago. i was at the Crossroads in Bladensburg, MD when AMERICAS MOST WANTED came in and got a guy from the bar. i also grabbed an inflatable flying-v that someone gave the Senator, and jumped on stage during "Sweet Home Alabama" (a product of partying in the band room). Good times were had by all! Anyway i was interested in getting a copy of the B**Yza song?
Till we meet again,
john.

I stumbled across your website and had to say hello, HELLO!!!!.

I watched you folks BURN down a place in the 80's called the Kenwood Tavern in Bristol, Pa. They had an 80 year old waitress named Gwen who ran around with her thumbs up in the air yellin' "rock & roll". That place has since burned down, seriously, but your shows were the best, thanks, Pete.

January 27, 2008

Hey Guys,
Wanna know what ever happened to that guy who played bass for y'all for nearly five years in the '80s? Here I is! These days I'm playin' the resophonic guitar (AKA dobro). I play with two groups Bull Run (bluegrass - played a couple large outdoor BG festivals last summer). And recently joined a Silver Spring based band called THE DRUTHERS - you can find us at druthers.net and get links to Druthers Myspace and my own meager Myspace page for some recent pics, I'm on the "Friends" section - Rezydent. I've been in the studio quite a bit lately doing session work for several local bluegrass, and
Americana/Celtic artists - and even some jazz/fusion. Realy working hard to revamp the Druthers sound which has changed dramatically - so the myspace stuff is quite dated.
Glad to to see you guys are still Rockin! I listened to some of Get Ducked on CD Baby - sure brought back a lotta great memories. We gotta get together some time and catch up. Anyone interested in contacting me can do so via email at: varezydent@hotmail.com

Rezydent - AKA Neon Leon
